But if the prospective client requires a certain file size and explicitly suggests upsampling using a certain method if the file size is below the minimum, then you have to do as they say if you want to have a chance at making sales. When I scan a color slide with my Nikon LS-2000 I get a 35-40 MB TIFF file as the result; similarly when I convert a RAW image from my Canon 10D to TIFF. Both at 16 bits. Since the client wants 48 MB at 8 bits, I can either buy one of the full frame Canon DSLRs and a new scanner at a cost of several thousand EUR, or I can try upsampling. Of course it would be preferable to capture a large enough image to begin with, but if in the client's eyes upsampling is acceptable, then I am not going to be religious about it--I will just do it. Thanks to all who replied with helpful suggestions, as always the LUG comes through for me!
