OK, so my 113MB image was not out of line. Scanning at
2000-2500 DPI is a little more reasonable than at
4000? That's what I like about this. I know someone is
going to say, "Always scan at the highest possible
resolution".

If I do that, then am I still doing a raw scan?

I'll experiment with this and see what happens. Matter
of fact, I think I'll take about 6 negs and do a raw
scan, and a corrected scan on each. 

Thanks,
