Slides and editing them

[Collette]

I am following your scanning guidelines for slides and I wanted to know how this looks as the scanned files. I have them at 48 bit, with densometer at 16 bits, ensuring I leave a bit at each end of the histogram and saved as a psd file at about 11 or 12 MB for file size but that is only 8 x 5 for print size. They are a bit grainy for some. I am unsure how to correct colour on these. They are old, most from the 1960's but I want to do a reasonable job of creating images for my parents.

Roughly what are the pixel dimensions of the files?

2500 x 1650

Oh gee, that's only four megapixels.

Did you see the resolution guidelines at the bottom of this article?

Ok going bigger thanks.
