Pal, I haven't used your scanner, but mine has similar stuff. I just
tell mine to scan real stupid, at either ~50MB (8 bit) or ~100MB (16 bit)
and then go to Photoshop. Photoshop shows the image having a lot of
DPI but at the real 35mm neg "picture size" of about 1 x 1.5 inches.
I don't think it makes any sense to have scanner software set final
print size and resolution when you don't even know how you want to crop
yet for your first print. Keep the scanner "stupid" in this regard.

I have to admit that I find this stuff very confusing. 35mm slides end
up at 120Mb and 645 at 342Mb.
Nikon suggest in the brochure for the scanner to set the output size of
the scan to the printing size (eg A4), and set DPI to 360. Is this a
good idea and what is gained (if anything) over using the output size
you get from the scanner at 4000DPI and adjust image size in photoshop
to whatever printing size in question?
