My mom turns 90 in a week and I want to scan old photos and project them on a large screen. I don't know what resolution to scan them at to keep images from falling apart. Very few to none of these images were taken with a digital camera.
Some were made with large format cameras and are extremely sharp, but most of them are old, faded family snapshots that I'll have to fiddle with.
I scanned one in, probably at hi res and the resulting file was 40 megabytes - this seems unwieldy (it didn't hold up well, either, which seems odd to me). So on that photo I had the worst of both worlds - huge file and an image that does not survive even minor enlargement.
I need to start scanning in earnest; don't want to clog my computer's hard drive too much and want this slide show to live on a DVD, not my laptop, but I'm not sure how to optimize the equipment and images I have. Maybe I should borrow a projector. One will be provided to me on the actual day.
THANKS
