- I don't know exactly how it works, but it takes LOTS of memory. The
- engineer at the Apple booth at MacWorld said it would take around 20 MB
- to do photograde at 600 dpi, but "we're working on it".
-
- It's kind of a bummer, because 300 dpi + PhotoGrade is visibly better
- than 600 dpi, but text looks better at 600 dpi.
