File Size Guide

How do I setup a new image file?

 

For the best prints, please provide appropriately sized film or photographic prints for scanning. 35 mm film can be used for small prints, but it will not provide the sharpness of larger format film. Most of the digital files available from stock photography houses is based on 35 mm film.

Find the longest dimension of your print in the left column (in feet), then read across for the recommended film or photographic print sizes. Any film size in the highlighted zone is fine, but larger film is always best.
