[Leica] My first Colour picture posted

Very nice indeed Luis,
I always scan at 4000dpi (Coolscan V ED) get everything you can out of a 
slide or negative,I have also found that a scan will hardly ever be as 
bright and lucid as a slide, but you can get very close - as we can see 
in your picture.
You can always reduce the file size some time later on while processing, 
Make a copy of the original file then perform the basic corrections you 
need on the full 64MB copy and store the result as a TIFF (no 
compression) and use this as a basis for your prints or for posting.
The higher resolution the better during processing, any processes will 
of course take longer but will have a better statistical base to work on.
i.e. more real information = less interpolation = better result
cheers
Douglas
