I find that the higher the resolution, the higher quality the scan.  I =
get much more detail
and far less degradation of the image after manipulations such as =
sharpening and saturating.

    If some of you have a spare minute, could you please check out these =

skin tones, sharpness,=20
    contrast, brightness, etc.  Thanks a million!

    Is there any advantage to having both files at 1350dpi when 72dpi is =
the maximum resolution most computer screens can cope with?
    Of the two images, sharon02 is my preference. The facial skin tone =
in sharon01 is a bit washed out but the skin tone of the chest and arms =
in 01 I find is more realistic than that in 02. Would it be possible to =
bring the facial skin tone in 01 up to that of the chest and arms in 01. =
If that was possible, I would much prefer 01 over 02. As 01 stands right =
now I think that the folds in, and the texture of, the skin in 01 is =
more lifelike than in 02.=20
