Subject: filmscanners: Scanning negatives for archiving


| I have recently bought a Nikon LS2000 for the purpose of scanning my old
| negatives and archiving them on CD's. Could anyone guide me on the
| following issues:
|
| 1- What resolution should I use for scanning?
| 2- What file Format should I use to save?
| 3- Any ideas on how to create a database like index to help search the
| archived negatives.
| 4- Is CD-R a good medium to archive on?
|
| Possibly this info is already available somewhere, in which case I would
| appreciate if you can point me to this information. Any Tips will be
welcome
|
| Thanks
