View our sample below to get an idea of the difference
between resolution and the resulting files sizes. When
looking at the page section below, examine the three different
parts of the image. Look at the line art (orange
bamboo), the type, and the photograph (halftone).
The sample below is only a portion of a page and the file
sizes listed below each image are for this sample only. The entire page
when scanned in as a tiff was:
For our own yearbook projects we scan in at 600 dpi tiff.
Then save the images as 300 dpi tiff's so that we can fit a
yearbook on only one or two CDs. For web pages we save
the 600 dpi tiffs as 300 dpi jpeg's, 800 - 1000 pixels wide.
If you notice below in the bottom row, it is hard to tell
the difference between the 600 and 300 dpi jpeg's.
What resolution and file type you select is up to you.
