Better to scan from the negative - better still to scan from 4x5" negs, but 35m still quite good. Jennifer>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.
