Re: paleonet Digital photography again



I've just been scanning TEM cut film to put on file, using an Agfa
Scanscan.  I scanned at 300dpi, which actually gave a file size of about
8-9mb.  I then (in Photoshop) reduced the file size to between 1 and 2mb.
This still gives excellent definition.  Even reducing the file size to
about 500kb produces good definition at a print size of over 30x20cm.  I
haven't converted any of these to slides.
