Re: [Digital BW] 4990 test

2008-01-03 by AnnMarie Tornabene

Well, this is what I gathered from running the test. I scanned in at  
4800 dpi, then scanned the same negative at 12,800 dpi and as I  
suspected,  got a better result from the latter. There is a huge  
amount of pixelation, especially in the skin tone, and some quick  
jumps between tones when I scanned in at 4800. Then I tried scanning  
at 3200 because sometimes there is a key resolution to use that works  
and anything above it gives similar results. Well, it did  look  
slightly better than the 4800 dpi scan, but still not as nice as the  
12,800.

What's that old saying? If it ain't broke, don't fix it? But I do  
appreciate the advice as always. Thank you! :D
