Please Eric (or anyone else), tell me where I'm going wrong. This question
cropped up a few weeks ago, but no-one offered a solution. The problem is
that, if one scans a small image at, say 2600 dpi, (which is the standard
for 35mm slides) how does one print it out as an A4 image using Photoshop?
My understanding is that the only way is to resize it for printing to the
actual print size, which in this case, would be millions of megabytes. The
alternative is to change the resolution whilst resampling, but to what?
Either way its a mess! With PSP (just to give any example) one can print
preview, change the desired print size etc and get photographic quality
output very simply.......

Am I missing the point? Please tell!

Many thanks
