Jack... I hesitate to get sucked into the quagmire of scanning, but if you scan a 35mm neg and get a resulting file of 100MB (!), you're using a scan resolution of 3,500 ppi, which, IIRC, is approaching the maximum information density of "consumer" 35mm color print films.
Scanning a 6x6 neg at the same ppi should yield a 410MB file with considerably more information. I'm sure someone will correct me if my math is off. BTW, this is an interesting treatment on the subject of the various formats and the maximum data they can provide. Caveat emptor. <http://www.oprit.rug.nl/otten/Comparison.html> Tim On 11/17/04 12:56, Jack Davis wrote: > If a 6x6cm frame is scanned at 100MB and a 35mm frame > is scanned at 100MB, will the 35mm frame relinquish a > greater share of its information than will the 6x6? > IOW, in order to achieve an equal scan saturation, > would it be necessary to scan the 6x6 at 360MB?
