Hi all,
I searched the forums prior to posting just to make sure no one else had asked a similar question. Recently, I had my parents' old 35mm slides digitized online. The company did a great job with the conversion which they say on the website involves a "Nikon film scanner producing the highest quality images at 4000dpi (4000ppi) in the market".
The only problem is each 35mm slide became 12-14 megabyte sized jpeg. I had hundreds of slides digitized. If I want to load them all into iPhoto, it will take up many gigabytes of storage. I like having the high resolution files on the back-up DVD the company sent me, but was wondering if there was any way when importing into iPhoto to have the application downgrade the resolution for me so I can fit more photos into less space. If not iPhoto, maybe Aperture could do it (?)
If anyone has had a similar experience, I would love to hear about it
Many thanks,
