RE: 35mm scans on LS-9000, stock submission requirements Alamy?

I would be more concerned about what type of holder you are using, than
absolute file size at scan. Post processing can do a lot of good things, but
the most difficult thing to do is make something sharp that isn't.

I find it crazy no to make color correction at the scan level, but if you
feel that best fits your workflow, go for it.

Subject: [coolscan8000-9000] 35mm scans on LS-9000, stock submission
requirements Alamy?

I recently purchased an LS-9000 in order to scan all of my 35mm (9,000
images)for submission to Alamy and other potential stock markets.All
of my images were shot on Fuji Velvia 50 and are tack sharp. I am
scanning with VueScan Pro, 48 bit 4000 dpi, single pass. No digital
Ice,no sharpen,and no color correction in the scanner. (will post
process in Photoshop CS2. Out put at 48 bit RGB Tiff.

My question is this: Can I meet Alamy's requirements of a 48mb file
scanning from 35mm with this Scanner (LS-9000) and hold sharpness at
their required file size of 48mb? Or am I looking at Drum scans to
meet the requirements?

This works out to a file that is 16.735 x 11.14"; at 300dpi. Now
traditionally in the old school film days this would have been maxing
my size to quality ratio for a print from a 35mm image.

Eric,

Can you give more info on your concerns for what type of holder I am using?

I am scanning 35mm images in their mounts and am beginning to wonder if they should be removed for optimal results?

Tony, Slide film can and does get a curl to it. Slide mounts can flatten
that somewhat but for my money, whether I was making cibachromes or scans,
the best images come from glass mounts. Here with scanning wet mount or at
least good clean, anti Newton glass with clean non scummed slides. Since you
seem to want to avoid ICE, which can be a problem with some artifacts, I'd
recommend wet mount with glass from best scan quality. If you are looking
for speed and batch processing, regular Nikon holder CAN work but may not be
the bees knees when it comes to quality.

There is a trade off here.
