Re: filmscanners: ReSize, ReSample or ReScan ?

[RogerMillerPhoto]

If you define "resizing" to mean that the pixel dimensions don't change (you do that when you uncheck the "resample image" box under Image > Image Size in Photoshop), then resizing within Photoshop will have no affect on the image.  A two-inch wide image at 300 ppi looks the same as far as the internal workings of Photoshop are concerned as a 4-inch wide image at 150 ppi.  Resampling will either add pixels (up sampling) or remove pixels (down sampling) from the image and therefore will change it.

You were told wrong. Try it.
