Re: [Digital BW] Re: 4x5 Neg Scan Resolution

2002-09-20 by Truman Prevatt

My 4x5 scans at 16 bits and 2400 dpi comes out to be about 200 megs 
depending on the cropping. That's plenty resolution to print a 16 by 20. 
I have found Picture Window Pro handles large files with more ease than 
photoshop. About the only thing I use PS for anymore is to remove 
negative inperfection with the "bandaid" or "healing brush" or whatever 
they call it.

I guess if you were doing 4x5 color you'd be running into 500 to 600 meg 
files.
