Photo Scanning Question

[kaiser78]

I am scanning a normal size photo but the dimension of the generated jpeg is 1700x2338.

How can I make this the standard jpeg dimension size for a photo of 3648x2736 ?

Increase the scanning resolution?

Increase the scanning resolution?

How do I do this ?

Well, let me put my psychic hat on and see if I can figure out which scanning application you're using....

There should be an option when you're scanning to select the number of dots per inch (dpi) you're scanning at. Try increasing this.

Edit: And since when has the standard JPEG dimension for a photo been 3648x2736 pixels? Surely this would depend on the camera.

Yup, that's clearly for a 10 Megapixel camera.

Also, what is a "normal size photo"? 10"X8"? 5¼"X3¾"? 190mmX73mm (whatever "mm" are)?

These guys are being a bit fastidious, just take the photo as described and scan as said. Then get a higher resolution camera, and take a photo, of the scanned photo. Repeat until desired size.

If you accidently go higher than the resolution required, use a less resolution camera, to take a photo of the scanned image, from the high resolution camera. And repeat until desired size.

or the easier option, learn to paint .. VERY WELL .. and then replicate said image to the size you desire in it's original glory on canvas
