I want to scan in photographs to Photoshop CS2 to be used in Premier for a widescreen DVD presentation. To complicate things the presentation will also be used on a 4:3 standard kiosk monitor.
What resolution should I scan the images in?
Im thinking 720×480 at 72 dpi. If I crop to that size and use a 4:3 safe frame as reference (for the important part of the image) then shouldnt it play on either. If on DVD I will get the whole 720×480 image, if on 4:3 the part of the image I loose will have little effect because I used a safe frame as reference and got the important part of the image inside it.
Now, should I make the cropped image at 72 dpi or some higher rez for better quality. The frame ratio will be the same but the quality should be higher, right?
Or do I have no idea what’s going on? Which is quite possible. That is why I need you guys.
