Rafe, thanks for your excellent response. I'm not exactly a newbie at scanning and Photoshop, but I obviously still have a lot to learn. Thanks for providing the definitions of "resize" and "resample." In the past, when I would resize in Photoshop, I always left the "Resample" box checked. I

Hi Rick, Actually, the manual is correct. The error you are making is in the size of the file you expect you will be creating. If you are making a scan of a 35mm film frame, you don't need to scan the whole flatbed size, only 1 x 1.5, as you states. This doesn't make a 700+ meg file. The

I have 3 parameters on my 1640SU scanner - Source Size , Target Size and DPI. The manual tells me to Increase Resolution as I increase Target Size. This can result in some horrendously large files and I suspect there is a limit above which the file gets bigger but does not contain any more
