I am scanning old pictures which are 2x2 or 4x4. I can't figure out to
make the scanned output into a full screen or 8X10.

Anyone that can help?

If you want to print an 8 x10 from the 2x2 at 300 DPI (best print) you scan
the 2x2 at 1500 ppi. You will have to crop some of the scan because you
can't scale up a square to fit a rectangle. You can print a 10 x 10 or an 8
x 8 from the 2x2 picture.

For the 4x4 the scan is one half, or 750 ppi (scan an even number, 800)
