You retard. What TV set is able to show a resolution equivalent to 4000 dpi? NONE! When the films are rescaled for viewing you're not going to see pixels. What a dumb fuck. If you want to put your holiday pics online but want to edit them first do you scan at 72dpi or 300? 300, then you resize and optimize at 72 right? Or do you scan at 300 and then post the result? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
did anyone NOT laugh after reading that headline?
