The Costco here scans at about 2200 dpi. I think what they are telling you is that at a 4x6 image they are 300 dpi or thereabouts. I liked the airport shot and the color portrait closeup. The balloon shot needs more contrast/saturation. The two B&W of the young lad (brother?) just need some contrast/curve adjustments. I have now had a few thousand slides scanned here and have only had 3 or 4 redone due to gafs. I talked to one of the Noritsu reps at the Costco store a few weeks ago. He was surprised at the interest in having slides/B&W negs scanned at their facilities. Said they are really pushing training for folks who have little experience with the process. The girls at the local store are very experienced and have been telling their techreps that they can expect to see this really take off as folks start getting on the bandwagon to archive old stuff.
