Erwin, if you're scanning prints for your website there's really no need to
scan at greater than 240-300 ppi. More doesn't equal better. In fact,
scanning at 100 ppi will result in screen size images nearly equivalent to
the original prints. So a 4"x6" print scanned at 100 ppi will deliver a
screen sized image measuring only a little larger than 4"x6" on most
monitors, at an actual resolution of 400x600 ppi.

Lex, I'm scanning slides, not prints, so to obtain an image size of about
800x600 you need 600 DPI. I use 1200 DPI to have some "playground" (although
almost all the images I have published are "as they are") and because there
is not much difference in scanning time between 600 en 1200 DPI.
You're right that it doesn't make sence to scan prints at such a high
resolution!
By the way: great pictures on your site!

Sorry, I get alway a error, whe trying your site, so I can`t coment on :-(.
But I read in the german ct` magazine, that a possiblity to improve the
quality/size
ratio of JPEG pictures is to soften the background and unimportend details
bevor
compressing. The soft parts of the picture can be better compressed.

Xoom behaves very strange. Sometimes it is very fast, often very slow, on
some computers it won't work, some computers have no problem at all.
I use IE5 and the behaviour of Xoom seems to depend on which site I have
visited during a session... very odd (a cookie problem?).
I don't know if the version with the advertising banners works better than
the one without. Compare:

Any comments?
