Good Afternoon
I was hoping someone could possibly assist.
I am currently scanning 1000st of old film and thought i make it the files by defualt about 5 meg, can rescan at higher reselolution at a later time if i want to make use of the photo.
So I set my setting to
Keep the filesize to about 5 mbytes.
And resolution to 4000
ONce i went threw about 4 rolls of film i opend a few in photoshop to start working on them, and noted the my image size is only 1 x 2 cm so I can forget about printing it at all at that size
So I thought okay let me decrease the resolution since my file will need to probably be allot bigger to deal with the resolution, made sure my image was set to 100 % and changed the resolution to 1300
Opend it in photoshop and still my image size is 1x2cm. so if i go print on a 10x15 page, it wont at all fit, and if i say fit to paper, it pixelate so much cant see a thing,
I have no idea which way to go. wich ever resolution i use with the size of 5 mbytes, i stil get images of 1x2 cm
I have 1000 of strips to go threw.. and dont want them too big, take up too much space, but yet can print if need to with a good resolution.
Has anybody encountered this, or am I doing the completely wrong.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Kindest Regards
