TIFF files. > >The numbers you gave above don't seem to "fit"...did you make those numbers >up, or is that from a resized image? oops, yeah. The dpi figure in the above should b e 618. A scan from a slide I just did read: 2396x3694, 2720 dpi, 0.81x1.36", 19.9MB Better, eh? :-) >When you read the image back into >Viewscan (I assume you can do this), does it still have the dpi it was >scanned at, even after resizing? No, it doesn't, it's changed. Interesting, I had never done that - re-looked at an image on disk with the scanning software. I just called up an unaltered TIFF. Why is that? Would it help if I cited the changes? Looks like I could learn something from this. I better send one through paying close attention to all the settings. >How about images from another scanner? >There are many fields in a lot of the standard file formats that simply go >unused...and most people don't support. > >I'll ask Ed about this...he's gotten quite busy these days, so I won't hold >my breath...
