Why not just scan everything at the highest resolution?
First, higher resolution scanning is slower in order to allow the scanner to obtain greater detail from each photograph. You will be able to make enlargements as from a negative. The cost is slightly higher to compensate for this extra quality and the time required. Quite simply, the digital world was created to mimic the real world. Take, for example, a 20 page (double-sided) photo album at home. You can choose to fill it with well over a hundred 4×6 photos OR a mere forty 8×10 enlargements. The same is true with digital — and computers in general. Higher resolution photos take up more space on your computer. They can also take longer to load, upload to the Internet or email. Take into account your needs when choosing your resolution.
