Those with basic goals, and those with advanced goals. I like to keep it simple and break people down into 2 categories. What's Is the Best DPI to Scan your Film Negatives and Slides? So at the highest, with the Epson V600 don't scan your prints, slides or negatives above 9600 dpi.īut, even that is overkill and you will see not only a massively huge file size, but also too much grain when scanning film. Computers these days are fast enough to handle the file size, but the additional grain isn't so good. So, my suggestion to anyone is never to go beyond the optical resolution of your scanner. The image quality doesn't get better - really only worse. All it's really doing is blowing up the pixels and cropping the image around it. That's basically what the scanner is doing as well when it's using this digital (Interpolated) resolution. But, many still zoom in even tighter and that's because it's digitally pushing into the pixels to make the image “look” closer. Once you have zoomed in all the way, the actual glass lens no longer comes out any further. If you've used some of the point and shoot digital cameras that have come out in the last 10 years, you know many of them have an “optical” zoom rating.
