I Seek Advice On Scanning

I would say "yes", but you might get the same results at 600dpi and using the reducer. If you start with a blurry image and reduce it, it will remain blurry. But if you start with a sharp image and reduce it, it probably won't look much better than reducing a *really* sharp image.

Maybe try both 600dpi and 1200dpi and seeing what the results look like after reducing (you get a preview that you can download and inspect before you attach/post it).

Thank you. I had thought-imagined?- that if I were to send at 1200 dpi the viewer could enlarge it. In doing so the dpi would decrease and eventually at the dpi of the screen, the picture would be large and thus more useful. I may be completely wrong; I usually am according to me wife.
