Message text written by INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >I can see from my 35mm 100 speed film negs that the 2400 dpi scanner I'm using is inadequate. Will 4800 ppi settle the matter once and for all or should I be waiting until 6400 or 7200 ppi scanners arrive to upgrade? JCO<
at 4000 dpi, the Provia 100F and Kodachrome 25 scans i make show grain as most of the detail i get. since scanning at odd multiples or submultiples of the optical resolution slows down the scan to do the software interpolation, i leave my scanner set to 4000dpi. that plus i prefer to scan once at maximum useful resolution and color depth to work with the images from there on my computer, making backup or variations files as necessary. i find that increased color depth is very nice to have during the time i am making initial adjustments, but at over 100MB per image, it takes up a lot of disk space. also, many Photoshop features don't work in 16-bit/channel mode.
