RESOLUTION, RESIZING, AND RESAMPLING
Image resolution is the number of pixels per inch (ppi or dpi) that represent your scanned image. Image size
(width x height) and image resolution determine your file size. The greater the dpi, the larger your file size
will be. Larger files sizes do take longer to print and scan than smaller file sizes. The general rule for image
resolution when scanning for quality is "bigger is better". We recommend you scan your image using the
highest resolution your output device is capable of handling. For example, if your printer's resolution limit for
a 6 x 4 inch image is 600 dpi, scan using those settings.
As all the image adjustments are made before scanning, there is no need for QuickScan 35 Plus users to
worry about pixel resampling or interpolation (two computer functions that can result in loss of image
quality). Users of image editing software (such as Adobe Photoshop) however, can adjust image size and
resolution in the application after scanning. If done incorrectly, resizing can result in interpolation. Please
refer to your software user's guide for additional information regarding resolution, file size, resizing,
as well as scanning.
