Investigate it - it's what you want. From the
Help file:
"Prefs tab
Get dpi from/Dpi or width These options
let you specify how to compute the dots per inch (dpi) of the cropped
images. The dpi can be the same as the scanned image, can be
explicitly set, or can be computed so that the width of
the cropped image can be a specified number of inches, cm, or
mm.

In Vuescan, AFAIK you don't get to alter the relationship between | PPI and the DPI which is encoded into the resulting file. There was an | option somwhere for "get the dpi from" I think, but I confess I haven't | investigated it. Anyway, using the default settings in Vuescan if you scan | with an LS30 you get a 2700dpi file. | By contrast, in Nikonscan you can scan at 2700ppi but output a file which | has a setting of 300dpi encoded into it - so the printed size would be much | bigger. | | >A 2700dpi scan implies a 9x magnification factor, so your 300ppi print | | >will come out at 216x324 mm, or slightly larger than A4. | | Yes, Nikonscan has a maximum "magnification" of 900%. It's not really magnification | at all - it's just the relationship between the pixels and the encoded dpi. | | >So always scan slides and negs at the best resolution you can get. | | There's reasons I would want to do otherwise, but not when I want to print | the scan on my Epson. Presumably the answer to my question is that most | people (if not everyone) scans a source file at 2700dpi (or whatever their | maximum optical scanner resolution is) and change the output dpi later in | Photoshop or whatever editor they use. | | Rob | | | Rob Geraghty harper@wordweb.com | http://wordweb.com | | | |
