Data Volume Varies with Scan Resolution
As with magnification, the higher the scan resolution, the larger the resulting
image file. If the file size is too large, it can slow processing and may overload
your computer’s memory resources. To illustrate the difference in file size, we
show the results of a 35 mm film scanned in 24-bit color mode at the
respective scan resolutions.
