understanding output and optimal settings
PostPosted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 6:52 pm
Greetings,
Purchased the Plustek OpticFilm 7600i with SilverFast AI Studio 6.62r4 hoping to archive in the best quality possible 20 years of slides and negatives. After 3 weeks of trial and error am still not sure about the relation between output and resolution as resulting in the dpi value. If I leave the output to the size of the frame (3.5 x 2.4) and slide the dpi slider to the higher values (after applying the various color and exposure corrections) will the result be the optimal all-purpose file, suitable for whatever size printing needed and of a very high quality?
As you can read, I'm an extreme novice and need hands-on advice as even after reading certain sections in the manual could not fathom the best method. In the beginning as a rule of thumb had scanned at an output of 30 x 20, Q factor 2.0 and lpi of 220 so the resulting dpi was 440..
Many thanks, Donna
