I've been doing some experimenting this weekend with the scanner
and printer. Seeing if I can "mimmick" a DC camera by lowering
the quality of my scanner.
Wouldn't you know it...
I got some very smooth pictures when I did a 2:1 reduction in
Vuescan to the tiff file. Grain disappeared, and the image
became more continous tone. However, the enlargement/reduced
printing resolution got me on the other side. The
stair-stepping got out of hand.
Then, I scanned a picture at maximum resolution and did a 1:2
image enlargement (quadriple file size). This proved to be quite
enlightening! The picture then was printed at a much greater
resolution than normal. Granted, a program such as Genuine
Fractals would have done a smashing job, here, but I found a
huge quality increase in my scanned images by doing this.
Worked up an 11x17 of one particular scan. It's heading for the
wall!
