Shel, Heidelberg Tango scanners have an optical resolution of up to 10,780 dpi. If you were to scan a 1" x 1.5" image at this resolution, you'd end up with about 175 million pixels. 24-bit files require 3 bytes per pixel for storage. That puts you into the 525 million byte range for the raw data.
Yeah, it's huge.... That said, I've seen some wall-sized enlargements of 35mm chromes at Calypso Imaging in Santa Clara that are mind-blowing.... If your images are good enough, it may be worth it! --Mark - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
