Well just as a comparison to scanned images, a 16 bit tiff from a 2800 dpi scanner creates from 50 to 60 meg files, 8 bit is like 23 to 30 meg. I'm not sure off the top of my head what the *istD is generating. I'm also wondering about the quality of the *istD's 12 bit format that supposedly is seen in windows as a 16 bit as compared to a true 16 bit output. I've heard people say that you can't really tell the difference between 8 bit and 16 bit on your monitor, but I can on mine if I view at full res especially. The improvement at 16 bit is considerable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shel Belinkoff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 8:51 PM Subject: Re: *istD Pixels Per Inch
