Film scanning
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2003 5:01 am
[url]I'm going to be starting to work w. the Minolta DiMage film scanner in the coming days. I've never done anything but photo scans and have also worked from cds.
Can someone using film scans give me some sense of what to expect. What steps do you go through bet. loading the neg. in the scanner & saving the jpeg image in yr. pc?
I'm assuming that since film scan files will be pretty big that I'll only want to save as large files on my hard drive those specific pix which I want to print out. Otherwise, I'll prob. save smaller & more compressed images for use on the web. Right?
Any other pointers?

PS this new forum technology is miles better than the old forum. But it is hard to figure out where the old forum archives are located. Wish they could've somehow been integrated into the new forum.http://www.pbase.com/richards1052/
