<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 300598, member: 112"]As stated, scans are great for showing detail. But to get the best reults scan in high resolution, 300 to 600 dpi and save the pic as a .tif file. Then when you crop the picture for posting, re-size it down to 500x500 or 600x600 pixels and save it as a jpg. This saves the detail but cuts down the file size to meet posting size limitations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
