Is there a Scanning Calculator that will help you calculate the
variables to be used when you have the Input Size of the Photo, Film,
or Document in length (8.5 by 11 inches) and you want the output in
pixels?

For example how do you scan a magazine cover so that it will fill the
screen of various Apple monitors?

2560 x 1600 pixels
1920 x 1200 pixels
1680 x 1050 pixels
1280 x 854 pixels

If you have Adobe Photoshop, you can use its Image Size dialog box
(Image > Image Size in Photoshop CS2) to do these calculations. For
instance, create a blank new document, then open the dialog box and play
around with the numbers.

Other image processing programs may have a similar image resizing dialog
box, which you can use to perform the calculations for you. So you may
have no need for a separate calculating program.

Good luck. ...pt
