One of the reasons I have not submitted to PUG has been the hassle of getting an image to the right size for submittal. I have a new Epson 2450, so I thought I would try all this out and see what happens. In the Epson twain, under manual control, you can set what the original image is (color slide, print, b/s neg, etc....) and then set the destination, one option is web/net. When you select this option the dpi is automatically set to 96. I tried a couple of 35mm color slides, 35mm b/w negs, and a b/w 120 6x6 neg. to see what would happen. Each full frame. In each case the scanner automatically adjusted the output to be under 600 dpi in any one direction, and the output looked really good on the screen. It sure is simple once you know how. Let the machine do the hard work. Now I have no excuse for not submitting to PUG. Jerry in Houston - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
