I have had the luxury of having my photoshop done by professionals. The few times I have done my own work, It has been on drum scans. We have specified our scanning in this way. "Give me a 100 meg scan at 300 dpi." I am sure that Chandler is trembling with anxiety over this but it seems to provide our clients with a file that accommodates nearly all unforeseen uses. From newspaper ads to catalogs to posters with one scan. Now that scans are getting so cheap it is becoming a waste of money unless there are retouching fees that would add up with multiple scans. > > The answer is simple - PhotoShop by it's market dominance sadly > conditions people to think in stupid units (dpi) which have no real > meaning unless you know the number of dots in the first place.
