[filmscanners] RE: Correct/best methods of scanning

It depends on the scanner, the scanner operator, how good you are with
Photoshop, and what tool you use to downsample in PS, and how well you use
that tool.

For MOST scanners, I'd say you are better doing it in PS.  For the scanner I
am most familiar with, the Leafscan, it does a superb job at scanning to
output size, as it has three DSP processors that do the downsampling, and
apparently the algorithm is exceptionally good.

So, the answer to your question is not a simple one.  You should simply test
it out for your self, and determine which method works best for you.

Regards,

Austin
