My work is all created as direct digital capture on a flatbed scanner (scanner photography). I need to determine in my workflow, when and how best to convert my image into the final size for printing.
The options I am aware of are:
1 Setting the scanner at final size and enlarging during the scanning process. 2 Scanning letter size, then converting in CS2, using image size, but unchecking the resample box. 3 Scanning letter size, working with the file at that size and desired resolution, then creating new document at the final print size and copying and pasting into it.
For example,
I can scan an object at 720 ppi a letter size. My print shop requests the file arrive full size at 360ppi, so after I am done editing, I create a new document that is 17 x 22 and copy and paste it into that document. The result is full size at 360ppi.
An alternative is to scan at 360ppi but set the format to 17 x 22 at the begnning of the process.
Or another alternative would be to simply save as and use the image size pull down to convert directly.
I am anxious to know what consequences of each approach might be that are not immediately obvious. Will there be a negative impact by any of these procedures. Which approach is recommended?
Thanks very much!
