Subject: [Leica] Scanning slides

Gentlemen,
My dry "darkroom" consists of Photoshop 7, a Canon S900 printer and an
Epson 2400 scanner. I shot some K'chrome 64 with my M2 and a
Voigtländer 21/4.

I learned a valuable lesson. I scanned the 'chromes in at 400 dpi and
printed them at 400 dpi as 8 x 10s. What a disappointment. Then the
proverbial light bulb went on over my cranium and I rescanned the
slides at 1200 dpi and printed them at 400 dpi. The difference is
marked.

Question - should I scan at still higher resolution? If so, what res?

Should I print at a higher res? If so what?

Thanks for any and all comments.

Regards

Kurt
