E.g., A size is ~90 sq in so target a 1MB file size.
(note that this would correspond to an UNCOMPRESSED TIFF scanned
at 300dpi! -- did I do the math right? -- in which case, the
whole argument starts to fall apart since a 300dpi TIFF
*compressed* would be much smaller! Or, for that given size,
a COMPRESSED TIFF could be scanned at a much higher resolution)
I think TIFF is a mistake; I'd use JPEG, at
about 5K to 10K per square
inch
for color, or about 1/3 that for monochrome.
Umm, ten thousand dpi!?
