![]() * Scan time per photo: 15 minutes (Each image is scanned three times for multi exposure and infrared) * Multi exposure: each image is scanned twice for the dark and light areas * Crop inside: 10% inside the automatic crop border (this is the area that is used to measure the right lightning) * Crop outside: automatic crop with 5% (extra border to make sure the whole negative is scanned) I scan on an old Ubuntu desktop which runs through the day, and will organize the images later on my mac with Aperture, although I might change to Lightroom if that's a better choice (considering its support for RAW DNG). I suppose that in a year or so - looking back - it doesn't matter that much, but considering the time it takes I don't want to take the risk. ![]() I don't want to make a decision that I regret later, so I'm scanning at the highest resolution at the moment. For color scans the scan time is similar, but the file size triples. If I scan a 35mm negative at 6400spi (or dpi or ppi whatever you call it), it takes 15 minutes for each picture, and at 16bit it takes up 140MB. I've bought an Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner, have scanned several negatives already, and want to make sure I make the right decisions. If I start with slides and color negatives, I'll probably ask another question or two. This question is about black and white negatives. I have about 1000+ b/w negatives, plus thousands of slides and color negatives, so I have to make decisions about how to get this done.
