I took some rolls of film to Walgreens, and paid extra for the photo CD - but the photos they gave me are only 72 ppi! I can't use them for my Graphic Design School projects, they're such a low resolution!
How do you make high resolution digital copies of photos from film?
Is there another photo developer that will give higher quality CD's, or what?|||I have no idea what Walgreens supplies, but 72ppi doesn't mean much without the dimensions.
You can get decent 4000ppi scans with good bit depth at low cost here http://www.scancafe.com/ or here http://www.slidescanning.com/index.html and a pro lab can give you even higher resolution 48bit scans here http://www.drumscanning.com/about.html in the $40-50 range.|||You have to ask for high resolution images on the CD.
By default they make all the digital image files "Internet, email ready" That means 72 DPI
You will have to find a lab that will scan your negatives at 300 DPI or better.|||It's not the PPI that will give you the detail you need.
By the way, what are the dimensions of each photo?|||If you want higher resolution, you resample/resize (Gimp is a free photo editor that can do this).
