I’ve been scanning 35mm slides using Epson 1250 scanner with film adapter. Scanning at 1200 dpi to a final image size of 5×8 inches or so gives me a jpg of about 1500-2000 KB.
However it takes several minutes to save the file. If I scan to a smaller image size it saves fine but then resizing the image takes just as long. However if I use the scanner’s own software it doesn’t seem to take anything like as long. Using a format other than JPG causes Elements to hang altogether.
The computer is a Dell Inspiron 8100, with 128MB RAM, 20GB hard drive.
Should it be taking this long?
