scaning images

Hi group

Is there going to be a difference in the quality of a image if I scan
it with computer 32bit or in computer 24bit?
Also can you guys give me some tips so I can produce batter quality
images and in the same time they to be light in MB so to be fuster for
downloading?
I'm using Photoshop 7

Thanks

well to make photos batter you might need some flour and eggs lol. 3 eggs
will make them fuster anough for what you want.

Hi

What kind of a scanner do you use ?

If you scan paper pictures, with a flatbed scanner, you can only get about
300 dpi out of them, so don´t scan them at a larger resolution.

If you scan negatives/slides with an adapter and a flatbed scanner, use the
highest optical resolution of your scanner.

If you scan negatives and slides with a filmscanner, you can get great
results. One of the things you have to remember is to do a color and
contrast adjustment of your preview before scanning, this will give you
better results...

Very soon, scanners, digital cameras, software etc. will all be 16 bit
per channel, AKA 48 bit color.

This is only true if your scanner software can export to photoshop in
the full color depth. In other words; if the scanner is more than 8 bits
per color (it will be), the software must be able to export a raw file
to Photoshop that is also more than 8 bits per color (Photoshop will
import it in 16 bits per color). Then you can make your color and tonal
corrections in Photoshop in 16 bits color. If this is not possible
because the scanner software doesn't support it, it's better to make the
color and tonal corrections in the scanner software. That way the
corrections are made in the full color depth, while Photoshop would do
it in 8 bits. Making tonal corrections in 8 bits is not a good idea if
you can do it in 16 bits as well.

Yes the software can export to Photoshop and even can make Photoshop
the default software.

Hi Steve

I am sorry to say, that you can´t get super results with that scanner, thats
not to say that it´s all bad..

A flatbed scanner like yours should scan at a max. resoultion of 300 dpi
(because normal pictures doesn´t have more information then that in
them...). When you have finished scanning, you should make your picture a
bit sharper with something like unsharp mask in Photoshop og PS
Elements(don´t know what it is called in other programs, but write your
image program, and perhaps some one can help).

Then you can try to adjust you levels and color range. It can be quite good.
I have used a flatbed scanner for a long time, and you can get decent
results out of it, one of mine is here

But I have now invested in a real filmscanner, which I am waiting for, that
will give even better pictures...

Of course it can. But can it export IN 16 BITS per color? If it can, you
can choose to do your color and tonal corrections in 16 bits in
Photoshop, and then reduce the bit depth to 8 bits per color. If it
can't, make your color and tonal corrections in the scanner software.
