I did that a couple of weeks ago, and got the processed film back this week. Yesterday I finally had time to do the scanning and Photoshopping. http://www.greatpix.eu/gallery/4253606_netUM#401847645_nW6wh-O-LB Incidentally, I used to scan MF film at a resolution of 3200 ppi on my Epson V700. This time, just to test my iMac, I decided to go whole hog, and scanned the film at the maximum optical resolution of the scanner, i.e. 6400 ppi. This resulted in each image being about 250 MB. I opened Photoshop CS3 and opened all 16 images at once. I expected the thing to be slow as molasses, but no--I guess partly thanks to having 4 GB of RAM, my iMac positively zipped through the levels adjustments, spotting and sharpening that I did on each image. Pretty impressive.
