Re: Roll #1 Kodak Portra 400 - Minolta X570

A general suggestion is to scan at the actual hardware resolution of the scanner. Then, downsample the resulting file to whatever resolution you want to permanently keep. Scans will take longer, but sometimes it offers an improvement over scanning directly at the lower resolution. You'd have to try it and see if it's worthwhile for you.

Indeed, I will try this on the second roll.  I tries on some frames from the first roll, but see no significant improvement.    However, the grain of Portra 400 might be too large to resolve such details!

Cheers,

Max
