I do all USM
at 100% so that Photoshop anti-aliasing doesn't mask the effects.
Print images can be over-sharpened slightly since the halftoning process
will reduce the sharpening effects.
USM is a complicated subject and I don't pretend to know a great deal about
it, but I do
nts sell for "hundreds of $", then $30 to $50 for a high-end scan
can't be too expensive.

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but Dan Margulis has a very
informative article on Resolution from his Professional Photoshop book
at <http://www.ledet.com/margulis/PP6_Chapter14.pdf>. If you haven't
gotten the book, it's money well spent.

artist can talk for several minutes about his work without mentioning
what brand of brushes he uses.

Knowing what scanner you use and your expectations (low, medium, high)

Do all your images need to be rotated, and in the same direction? I
suppose you could open them all in Irfanview, close the ones that are
correctly oriented and rotate the ones that need rotating.

Any

still end up with adjacent pixel values that differ by more than 1 unit.
Knowing these values to .5-unit precision doesn't change the average

For 16-bit processes to be relevant, wouldn't adjacent pixels have to be

Maybe at some point in the process the 8th (and 9th, 10th, even 11th or
12th) bit *is* significant, and there is some "noise" added at some
stage of conversion which eliminates the significance of the high bits.
If so, it's valid to use high-bit data before
