[filmscanners] Re: dpi - formerly PS sharpening

Art, Laurie, et al.,

I think you are being a little unfair on Austin. I have read many postings
on different lists where newbies are highly confused between various
recommendations to send images to Epson printers at PS settings of 360 dpi
etc, and the real dpi settings of the printer - 360, 720, 1440, and 2880.
There have been postings of people sending 1440 'dpi' images to their
printer because that is what the paper setting wants.

So it would be much better if all of you used the correct abbreviations; ppi
will never be the same as dpi, however loose your language usage may be. If
you are going to use dpi for ppi, what are you going to call the real
printer dpi? It's got to be called something different because it IS
something different.

Bob Frost.

But Ken, you've missed the whole point of that posting... it is because
this poster's purpose for living is to correct all the minutia(e) that
doesn't conform with his reality.  With that in mind, you'll certainly
now understand the full value of that edification.

Basically worthless to most everyone else's reality...

Be prepared for another posting where he will complain that this posting
"doesn't belong" on this list because it doesn't have any scanner
content and only is a "personal attack" and "cheap shot".  This same
poster, of course, will not admit that his own original posting is just
a "personal attack" and "cheap shot" on another poster, because he hides
his hostility behind the guise of "correcting" certain individuals.
