Re: [ARSCLIST] LP sized scanner
Hi, Tom,
First of all, other than some metadata concerns, I prefer to thinking
about shrinking 7200 x 7200 pixel scans to 288 x 288 pixel scans or
whatever. I'm pretty sure some of the Nikon software does that and
you can write a macro, I think, in Photoshop to do that. If you want
freeware, how about GIMP? Does that work? I suspect there are also
dedicated resizing utilities.
The last time I had to do that on a folder, I used the original Nikon
Capture that came with the D100. I haven't yet mastered the new
software from the D200--I just use Photoshop CS2 that opens native
D200 images or use the in-camera JPEGs for many things (knowing I
have the raw files if I want to do something special).
Cheers,
Richard

Ya know, while we have Richard's photo expertise here, I have a
followup question.
Once I get a big batch of hi-rez scans, is there a freeware or
cheapware program that will batch-downconvert them to 72dpi and
smaller "size" (ie from 600dpi 12x12 to 72dpi 4x4)?
The smaller images would be for the interface I'm cooking up for the
music server. Obviously, the use there would be for titles not in
the Gracenote or freedb databases.
