Hi,
I want to scan some old B/W-photos for achival purposes. I know the
rule of thumb that approx. twice the actual resolution of the print
should be chosen as the scanning resolution.
Do you have some hints about the resolution of such old prints? Some of
them are even 100y old 6x9cm (contact?) prints on cardboard and I don't
have any idea of the resolution of such photos.
Moreover, does 16 bit color width makes sense for such reflective
scans, as it does for scanning transparencies in order to have some
reserves for tonal corrections?
