BetterPhoto Member		Still using film and scanning images? I still shoot with film, and am concerned that my scanning skills will impact my submission for classes. What quaility are others scanning at. I know for web use you do not have to scan at a high quality. Do the instructors view the submitted pictures on line or do they print them to review them?

Kerry Drager		Hi Herculano, Thanks for your interest in BetterPhoto courses! Yes, instructors view the submitted pictures online - we do not print them for review. Incidentally, I also shoot with film, and I have my slides scanned at 72 dpi. For size, here's BetterPhoto's recommendation: TIFF, JPEG, Bitmap, or Ping images at no more than 500 pixels on the short dimension - e.g. 500 (w) x about 750 (h) for a vertical image or about 750 (w) x 500 (h) for a horizontal image. I hope this answers your question, Herculano ... if not, please follow-up! Best regards, Kerry To love this comment, log in above 0 March 02, 2005

Andy		I am still using film and scan my negatives. I always scan with the highest resolution, enhance the image and save it. If I want to display on my PC or put it out onto the net, I will make a COPY of the image and resize only the copy. I can also print it out, backup, etc. with only one scan. Hope this helps.
