Only 100 & 150 presets are available now. It's not a huge, deal but unless I am crazy something changed in the last few days since I used to be able to set any res I wanted, even if not in a preset. 125 is a happy medium for file size vs readability that I had worked out for what I usually scan.

The presets shown are definitely such multiples.

Hmm, I'll have to check out the interpolation idea. But without being able now to make and compare a 125 of the same subject, not sure what I can do. The scanner is not new. This change just showed up yesterday. I do now recall an HP sw update, and various Mac updates, recently.

Thanks for the ideas, like I said it's not the end of my world, just annoying.
