I presume you mean at *most* 1800x1200? As you say, anything higher is
unlikely to give any visible improvement. When I did a test recently I
could only tell the difference between (scaling to this print size)
1350x900 and 1800x1200 with the help of a magnifying-glass.

Hey thanks BenOne

I've just taken some 10 by 14" images for printing and I resized/resampled
to that level to see what heppens.

I had some prints at same size and used the printer settings (or whatever
the photo shop is using)

This time I want to see the effect of resize/resample through PSCS

I recently purchased a Kodak 4530. Lowest setting is approx. 1 Meg. (for
email and web). My problem is that the file size, from my view is WAY
TOO
BIG for either.

Can anyone recommend a utility to (after d/load), which can do a batch
resample ....or somehow reduce all the pix to a reasonable size for email
or
web use.....preferably all at once?

Thanks.
Keith

Use the normal or fine (maybe "best") JPEG setting just in case you want
to print. If you are viewing the pictures on a computer you should resize
them to 800x600 or 1024x768, or even only 640x480 if you will be emailing
them and only have a dialup modem connection.

If you are going to print a 6x4 photo you need at least 1800x1200.
Anything higher than that might not be noticable in the print. If you are
going to print an 8x10 then don't resize the picture at all.

Then I stand corrected. I was simply recommending a minimum of 300dpi for that
print size.
