<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Thanks to all of you who responded to my slide scanning questions. I will continue to experiment and eventually post a link to my results. I purchased an Epson V550 scanner in March. My old scanner still works if I use the virtual XP machine on Windows 7, but it was only a document scanner. <br><br><div>Dennis F.

I bought an<br>> Epson slide scanner and have been doing some experimenting with it. I<br>> started at 600 dpi and was not happy with any of the darker images (I had to<br>> lighten them in Photoshop Elements and they became grainy) so I went to<br>> 19000 and wow, what a difference. My question is, what dpi setting do you<br>> use? <br>> I have considered using 19000 and then cutting the file size by 50%.<br>> I am saving them in tiff format.<br>> <br>> <br>> Dennis F.
