What is a good scanning resolution for a flat bed scanner to scan photographs?
Flatbed Scanner in an all in one printer:
Up to 2400 x 4800dpi scan resolution.
48-bit colour.
Answers:
Depending on the size of the photograph:
for A4, 300dpi
for A5 (half A5) 600dpi if you intend doing re-touching on the photograph.
Resolution does not equal dimensions/size
its a mistery
i use a canon lide scanner..
better to go with a known brand as you may have hassles getting up to date drivers later.
have a look here for prices and reviews anyway

I use Lexmark X7350 and it scans my pics pretty well.
It's an all in one printer and I haven't had any problems with it.
it depends on if you want it for the web or if you are printing photos.72 dpi is best for web.
Like everything computer related, What are you going to do with the scans?
If it's for the web, then a quick scan using 72dpi@8bit will suffice.
If you're going to be using photoshop (or other image software), then use 600-1200dpi@24 or 16 bit for the scan. Make sure you're package can use the higher colour depth first. Use 8bit if you're unsure. Also choose the image size when you choose the scan resolution: you can change them independently.
Perform your colour changes on the image, then convert (within photoshop) to 8 bit so you can use the filters.
Once you've finished manipulating the image, save it at 300dpi (disable the re-sample check box) and you're ready to print.
The higher the dpi the better, but it uses more memory.
