Proper Digital Scanning I'm having a heck of a time with scanning my negatives or digital. I can't seem to get it. Any help would be appreciated. I like to blow pictures up sometimes to 30x40. So when I scan negatives to computer, do I have to put in all info then? Like BEST resolution and such? Or do I wait and put that info in after I've worked on it, and then am ready to scan it for printing? Thanks!

Sandi, If you want prints that size, you have to scan at the highest possible resolution. Go into Image/Image Size in Photoshop or Elements, and enter 240 in the resolution block, Resample Unchecked. What you will see is a readout of the max printable photo quality size you can expect. There are programs - Genuine Fractals being one - that will boost your resolution. I haven't used it.

Try stair interpolation. Press Alt+II This will bring up Image size. Check Resample Image and Resolution to 200 pixels/inch. Change Width and Height to percent and change 100% to 110%. Keep increasing the size by 10% each time untill you get to the required file size. Another software program to try is Neat Image. Some say it's easier to use than Genuine Fractals
