Hi Timothy. I also used the 4x6 print,Epson manual mode so i could do the dpi etc adjusting. I started out with high dpi and when i adjusted in PS6 to 600x400 it would make the print size about 1"x1.5" which i thought would come out to small on the PUG.I played with the source and destionation sizes and found 100dpi worked best to resize to 600x400 and keep a reasonable screen size.

Yes, there are just a few IR pix in there this month! What's your original neg/print like? This scan was done with a 4x6 print on a Umax Astra 2100 (cheapo consumer scanner) at 600 dpi, 24 bits/pixel. I actually use these settings for all my scanning, then use photoshop to adjust size and depth as the purpose needs. The sky was mostly cloudy the day I shot this picture, which leads me to believe the quantity of grain may have been affected. Some of the frames are quite grainy and some are perfectly smooth. I finished the roll in about two hours. The grainiest images seem to be those that were reflecting a lot of direct sunlight. In this case, the bridge and plants were in shade and the sun was mostly hidden behind clouds. t On 7/1/02 3:50 AM, David Brooks wrote: > Had a hance to quickly look at this months > pug.Again some very nice submissions. > I notice a few IR entries this month,all look > very neat,but seem to have less pixelation than > my scan. > May i enquire how ya all are setting up the > scan?? > I did it from the print,and played with the > settings in Epson Twain 5 in manual mode. > I tried various dpi's and saving at various > pixel widths but i feel my submission is a lot > granier than say Tim's etc. > Any set up tips for a scanner newbie?? > > Dave > > > Pentax User > Stouffville Ontario Canada > http://home.ca.inter.net/brooksdj/ > http://brooks1952.tripod.com/myhorses > Sign up today for your Free E-mail at: http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. �To unsubscribe, > go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
