If you intend to print the image on paper, you should avoid
shrinking the image, except by cropping it. The reason is that
- printers are capable of achieving much higher dot resolutions than
- video monitors---600 to 1400 dots per inch for typical printers,
- as compared to 72 to 100 dots per inch for monitors. A 3000 x 5000

higher or use a lossless format such as TIFF instead.
