There comes a point in resolution when scanning film that all you're doing is resolving more emulsion defects too. At 2820ppi, I can see the grain clearly in ASA 100 film. Most of the benefit from 3000 ppi upwards is in grain imaging, rather than actual picture quality.


There's a contradiction in that last sentence.


How so? Please explain.
I'm interested in seeing the photograph, not the grain.

The grain is the photograph. Therefore, anything that improves the grain image improves the picture quality.

Hair splitting, I know, but I freely admit to being a pedant extraordinaire.
