I have scanned an absolute shedload of medium format B&W negatives at 3200dpi at 16 bit on an Epson V750. They were taken between 1935 and 1960, not with the world’s finest lenses!
The negatives are assorted and measure 5x7, 6x6 and 6x9.
I’d like to resize them to 2400dpi as the 3200dpi ones have generated very large TIFF files (some heading towards 200MB) I want to keep them as TIFFs but would like the files smaller.
I’m not intending to print them but if I did, they’d just be the size of an ordinary family album photo. They will be viewed on a PC screen and possibly on a much larger LED TV.
Will I notice any difference if I drop them to 2400dpi (without resampling). Was there any point scanning them at 3200dpi in the first place?
