A question for you experienced photographers who do scanning:
I have just done some architectural shots, using Fujicolor Reala
35mm. print film (ISO 100). I intend to have these processed by a local
professional lab, and then to scan the prints for inclusion in our art
department's web page. For a film such as this, shot with fairly good Canon
equipment, and *all other things being equal*, will I get better scan
results working with a smaller, *apparently* sharper print, or a larger
print? I suppose part of the answer will turn on what one can do to a
scanned image after scanning and compressing, using in this case Mac Image
Assistant.
The scanner I will be using is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 4-C. I
will be scanning the images first in TIFF format, then JPEG compressing at a
ratio of 1:25, at "80% quality" (Mac Image Assistant variable).
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks.
