The scanning parameters are of course important for the quality of the new digital "original". Below are some examples of the result of changing the parameters.
This is the most obvious parameter. Up to a certain level the principle of "the more pixels the better" is valid.
Resolution xxx x xxx pixels | Resolution xxx x xxx pixels |

Hans uses: Active dust and scratch removal based on ICE, normal. This means that the digitized image is not exactly as the negative. Software based dust and scratch removal must not be used.

Hans uses: jpeg with high quality which means jpg-files of size between 3-20 MB depending on image details. A "normal" jpg-file size for a digitzied image is about 10 MB.
