1. Re: Working with Scanned Tranparency Images in CS5 extended. Size?
Curt Y Jul 20, 2012 1:51 PM (in response to soloalpinist)Assume the height is 2000 pixels. This is about normal size.
THe general rule is to keep originals as big (h x w in pixels), do your edits and you can always resize. Best to keep origial size untouched, as resizing my loose resolution.
There is lots to learn in just resizing and what is needed for a web image. That extension are you using? TIff, jpeg , ?
Welcome to the forum, we will probably see you again.

Trevor.Dennis Jul 20, 2012 3:03 PM (in response to Curt Y)Did you scan the images? If so, bring them in at the maximum resolution supported by the scanner without Interpolution (see this LINK) and keep those high res versions as your masters. Do all your work, like cleaning up (unfortunately always needed with scanned film) on these high res versions, and downsize for web or internet, and keep the large file for printing.

soloalpinist Jul 20, 2012 4:10 PM (in response to Curt Y)Thanks for the helpful input... I've been working on the images in their original size as they came from the scanning service (I don't scan them myself) I've been saving the work I've done in photoshop (layers etc) in a PSD file and a copy of that file (flattened when all work is done) as a JPeg to use as the web copy. (I assume those JPEG files will need resized to use on the web) Is that the best workflow for my situation?
I also just began working in Lightroom 4 ... I've been saving as PSD files.. should I save in Tiff? Thanks again for the input and the scantips link.
