HI, I am trying to scan 20 year old negatives for a show. I have 35m negatives and just bought a scanner. The show will be a digital media display. I will have the photos displayed through a Projector on to a wall. The scanner setting are asking me for to identify setting / sizes: DPI PPI Resolution Can you give me your input based on how I want to display the photos what the settings should be? Thanks for your input............. Alex

HI, I have never done this before, but I have a show coming up, and I have 20 years old 35 m negatives. So I need to scan them. The saner is asking me 1. DPI? 2. PPI 3. Resolution I have two rolls one is color, the other is b & w. I will have a Digital show, meaning after I scan the photos, they will be displayed via a projector onto a large wall. Please let me know what the setting should be for scanning. Thank you in advance for your input Kind Regards Alex

Thank you all for your detailed responses. I have been on photo.net for 20 years now. I now know why :) It's a great place to get feedback and answers from other photographers. Amazing... Thank you all. I think I will try LIghthouse and see what happens from there.

Thank you. This is very helpful

Thank you, very helpful.

Can anyone recommend a good easy to use software for photography except Photoshop? Thank you

My question is: Is putting a watermark on a photo enough for someone not to print it or replicate it as their own? Or do I also need to make the resolution smaller? Cheers Alex

Ahh thank you. I did hit contact it did not take me anywhere. No email or phone number. But I am happy to know its not just my account. Thank you Fred.

I been with them for over 17 years, all of the sudden my photos are not showing. Does anyone know how to contat them? This is the first time I am trying. Kind Regards Alex

Thank you for your input. A very good idea :)) Simple and to the point.

Thank you WW, I see you point. I spoke to the organization, they not willing to do an email blast to thousands of their followers. Do to their privacy laws. I asked. They are willing to promote me on their social media. I need to find out the traffic. I also clearly understand your point about limited edition, makes sense. This will be my first run, so I dont want to price the prints to high. In order to see how many will actually sell. However, you brought up an interesting point, I might offer limited time ( say 3 months). This way i can create another photo shoot after that time. I also can see what the response will be.

HI AJG, Thank you for your valuable input. That is what I gathered. My name is not Pal Strand or Edward Weston, unfortunately. Limited editions are great but I am no where near them. It was a good idea though. Unfortunately non-profit can not help me with this issue at hand. Its is completely up to me and good people like yourself to decide how to prices the prints. For now I am thinking in or around $99 dollars for a standard print 10 x 18. ,

WW, Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated. Its a great thought. If this fund raiser works out, will limited edition wont actually limit the number of prints I can sell? I was pondering on this idea as well. IF I sell the photos for say $100 to $150 per print depends on the size, in unlimited number. Verses selling he print for $250 - $350 limited edition. Yes fewer buyers but the cost per print is more. Will that not limit the the number of prints I can sell? And will that not limit the fund raiser itself? The presentation and who I am as a photographer is not an issue. I can present my bio, including the 9/11 photos that are in the Memorial Museum in NY. But the cost per print still stands. What would you charge per print? Limited edition verses non limited? Kind Regards Alex

Thank you for you input.

Thanks Thank you for your input. These photos will be sold online. The idea is to sell prints only, I do not believe we will be framing them as well. Simply the fun raiser will be done online, and it could be into thousands of prints ( or we hope that it will ). IF we start framing them as well, we will simply run out money, since most of the budget will be spend to market online. Or do you think we should frame them as well? again. Yes you are right, the more people I speak to in the business the more I understand that everyone sets up their prices accordi

Papa Tango, You are an inspiration with your input. Thank you for you detailed response its much appreciated. . I will check all of the websites you mentioned and all tine info you provided. I can then can make some sort of a decision. I feel as if I am all ALONE in this process an no one really can give me an answer, understandably so. Thank you again, you gave me a base to start with. Yours Truly, Photographer at work :)) ALex

Hello to everyone, I have been a part time photographer for many years. I do know how to charge say for couple of hours of a photo-shoot. I do NOT know how to price a photo. Lets say its an art photo. I was asked to raise money for a good cause for a non profit. They asked me what is the price of your photos? I have no idea how to price them. My audience will be online and of course we want to raise as much funds as we can. I have donated few photos before that went at the auction for $800 to $1000 a piece. But I do not think that even for a good cause people will pay that much per photo. So how do I price a photo? Please help............ All your ideas, comments and input is welcomed. Thank you. Alex
