so, do you have the image on a disk? A photograph? Let''s say that it is Great Aunt Edna''s 90th birthday. What better way to show you care than to give her a life-size printout of herself!

The nifty little equation we use for figuring this out requires some algebra skills on your part but works wonders when trying to determine the scan resolution of your image. Photographic Prints and Negatives: How photographs and negatives scan depends on the quality of the original. If the image is blurry there is little that can be done to improve the sharpness. If the photograph is too dark or too light, or the color is not great, the scan can be manipulated to some extent and improvements can be made. A negative will always contain more detail in the shadow and highlight areas than a photograph produced from it. Whenever possible, please provide the negative along with a photographic print that appears less than perfect. Transparencies: 35mm slides, 2 1/4", 4" x 5" and
