<DIV><BR></DIV>I scan at 4000 dpi in 8 bit color for color slides using a Nikon Scanner,<BR>no longer available. File size is around 53MB. B&W prints are done at<BR>16bit 1200 or 2400 dpi depending on photo size and detail. Large files for<BR>sure ranging from 100 to 300 MB but I can zoom in and see lots of detail.<BR>Scan images in original size as TIFF images. Hard drives are cheap.<BR>
