Digitizing Color Slides

erniedel Sep 10, 2015 8:54 AM

I will be having my color slides (mostly Kodachrome 64) digitized soon.

What is the best format for importing to and editing in Lightroom?

I hope to be making prints as large as 16x20 inches.

Thank you,

Ernie

For best results, have the slides scanned as 16-bit tiffs.
If the files need retouching - i.e. removal of spots, scratches, etc, it is strongly recommended to do this in Photoshop.
Using the spot removal tool in Lightroom for more than a few spots per image will slow down LR to a crawl.
