Epson Scanner Input and Output

It's that time of year again; the time when I pull out my old film negs and prints and scan them. I'm working with an Epson 4490.

I scanned the above image of an outdoor art sculpture that I took in Eastern Europe.

The settings I used for scanning were: 48 bit, film, color negative, 400 resolution, Best Quality, Target size 8x12 inches, scale 100 percent.

Now guess how big the resulting Tiff file was? 91 megs!

Found Art Photo in LA's Farmer's Market

Go to historical places like The Farmer's Market/The Grove in LA and you'll find many different kinds of art photos already arranged for you.

Set in a mid-century theme, the Farmer's Market in LA is one of that city's best attractions.

Food vendors and a variety of restaurants under one roof that serve anything from casual to upscale entrees bustle with dining patrons. You can buy fruit, nuts, pastries, muffins, cookies, cakes, fish, dried fruit, coffee, donuts, and gifts all in one fell swoop thorough this place.

Part of this place is set up like a museum, detailing some history highlights of LA.

Next door is the Grove, an upscale, outdoor mall that caters to both tourists and people living in the inner city. Hang around this place long enough and you'll detect the voice of Frank Sinatra in the air among the sounds of splashing water, as the highlight of this place is the singing fountain.
