I'm archiving my work and was wondering what kind of scan size that is needed for 35mm film to capture all the detail/info of the original? and if needs be produce another trannie from the file in the future. Most my work is scanned for one of my stock libraries and they require a minimum of 100mb files which to me seems to be overkill and I don't want to waste time scanning and storing that size for no reason.
Dear Simon
I suggest that a fully optimised drum scan at 4000dpi from a fine grain 35mm transparency film is capable of capturing all the information. More resolution will simply be recording grain.
Many CCD scanners purport to scan at this resolution or indeed higher, but the reality seems to be that this, like their D-max claims are more marketing speak than reality!
