I. P. on 05/12/2009 13:38Hi Micheal,
It\'s a shame you withdrew the location shoot. Ah, well!
Presumably, the designer has specified 4k dpi which equates to 61.3 Mb in Adobe RGB 1998 colour space, bigger if you require CMYK, but remember, if we supply CMYK, you will loose colours that can\'t be replaced later. Will you need all of the slides cleaning up and all the dust removing, or will your designer do this? How valuable are the slides and will special insurance be required for the return journey? If so, how much?
Kind regards
Ian

What is your timescale please?

P. A. on 05/12/2009 14:24Michael, anyone who says scanning at 4000DPI and then says JPG is fine, needs to think about the final result.
M. G. on 06/12/2009 08:08Hi, the slides will need to be cleaned by the bidder. They are NOT for our company brochure. They need to be complete in 2 weeks. We would be happier collecting the slides, or will pay the insurance costs.
N. B. on 06/12/2009 14:07Sorry the project description does not make sense, you specify 4000 dpi, then say that jpg would be fine. 4000 is a high resolution for scanning, though some scanners that scan at 1800 offer a 4000 simulation. Normally if work requires 4000 dpi, then jpg is not an acceptable delivery standard due to the data loss in the image.
Can you clarify exactly what level resolution holding you want between the original and scanned image. If jpeg is OK, then do you really need 4000 dpi, or would 1800 simultated to 4000 be OK?
M. G. on 12/12/2009 19:103600 dpi would be great
P. A. on 16/12/2009 11:28Michael,
I don't think you understand the contradictions in what you are asking for. There is absolutely no point in scanning an image at 3600 dpi the specifying "jpg" as an acceptable delivery format. 3600dpi gives great resolution, the the encoding to jpg throws away the resolution and degrades the quality. For example, I could scan at 3600 dpi and supply at 10% quality jpg. You would not be very happy. Perhaps if you were more explicit about the intended usage of these images people would be more inclined to help you.
The quality of the scan and the quality of the resultant image encoding will affect the storage required and how many DVDs are involved and how long this process will take. At the moment you don't really seem to have a grasp of what is involved.
