Is there a "rule of thumb" in the following three cases in order to achieve best results:
1. Scan to desired resolution or use maximum optical resolution, do all the processing and only then, as the last step, reduce resolution?
2. I read once that above strategy should be used for tonal range for optimum results e.g. scan at 48-bit depth for maximum tonal range, do the adjustments and then reduce to 24-bit.
3. This is really a subset of the above and relates to grayscale. Again, I read that it pays to scan B&W in color for the same reason – wider tonal range – and then, after processing, reduce to grayscale.
Any comments? TIA.
