Hi There,
This will be a quick question for you brain boxes out there to answer for a digital duffer like me!!
I have just recieved back from a lab in Guernsey in the UK my first ever digital scans of seven Fuji NPS films.
I requested 18 meg scans for high resolution. (£10.00 per film) so I thought that each film would have a cd of it's own - 18 x 36 = 648 meg. Yet the scans weigh in at 2 to 3 meg a file. And they are grainy as heck when displayed on my 21" monitor. It is like looking at a 1.3 megapixel p&s.
Am I expecting too much, is my maths gone to pot or have they given me the wrong size?
I have tried to contact them today but they appear to be closed for the weekend.
Many thanks,
Paul
