Hi Ken,

I understand.  The comment was specifically about saving the file...and you
don't save dots, you save pixels.  The file, according to PS, is N pixels in
width, by M pixels in height.

After you scan, what does Viewscan show for units?  How about when you want
to re-size the image?

Regards,

Austin
