Why are scanned pictures vastly different sizes?

i got some 35mm negatives scanned at 2400dpi and they all came out at 4 to 5M.
then the next batch scanned at 2400 were from 800KB to 4Meg.
does this make sense?
thanks all

Dear Anon,
I apologize but I totally lost track of this thread and I am surprised that it took 3 days for a new response to help you out.  I am not well versed in Elements anyway so I would have given you suggestions for the standard Photoshop package that comes with one of the CS bundles.  Given that you now know how to find the resolution did you discover that the 800KB files were NOT 2400dpi or were they in fact still 2400dpi?  If so I would be at a loss as to why else the images would not be sizeable in MB.  Generally at 2400 dpi the full-range uncompressed TIFF file is much larger than a few megabytes.

  • I have many photos with file extension of .PDD and that Photo Deluxe 4 no longer will operate in Win 7. How can I open?  Next in Elements 11, how do I load and print different pictures and different sizes options on the same page?

    Couldn't tell you, I'm afraid. You've posted in the Audition forum, and we only know about sound here. You need to find the Illustrator forum, and post there.

  • Why are my pictures grainy (not clear)?

    why are my pictures grainy?

    The resolution of the cameras on the iPad are very low, something like 1 meg, and they are mainly for things like Facetime. If you have very good light then you may get acceptable photos from it, but you are probably better off using a digital compact or even your phone for photos

  • Why are my pictures fuzzy?

    Why are my pictures fuzzy? I recently reformatted my hard drive on my old Dell Latitude. After I downloaded the latest version of Firefox my pictures are so fuzzy it is hard to tell what it is. Type is fine but pics are fuzzy.

    Do you have a link to your images so someone can take a look?

  • Why are my pictures like this????

    I used to have a Dell laptop before getting a MacBook Pro. When I took it into my college's computuer store to be fixed one time, I received it back with all my photos on the harddrive ruined. The pictures themselves were not distorted but portions of the photo had different hues (ex., one half would be normal and then another half had a yellow hue). The lines marking the two parts could go in any direction and any hue color has happened. The store told me unfortunately there was nothing I could do. Even the thumbnails of the photos were showing this problem.
    However, when I transferred all my photos over to my MacBook Pro, I realized that although the color distortions were still there, the thumbnails were perfectly fine and not indication there was a problem. Is there any way to restore my photos from the thumbnail image, and why are they like this in the first place?!?!?!?
    Thank you!

    Its stuff like Adobe Reader (ex...Documents and Data = 8.5MB, but on Usage tab it reflects 17.1 MB and I have nothing saved there).   Other stupid things like a Flashlight I downloaded months ago. It too reflects Documents and Data = 1.7MB but the usage tab reflects 7.0MB.  Again I get and understand the games and apps where I have a profile saved with info, but the two examples above is more concerning and I have quite a few more apps just like it.

  • Why are my pictures in the "All Photos" Album out of order?

    Within Albums there is an "All Photos" folder but some of the photos are out of order. How is this "All Photos" album different to the "Photos" view (which is in the correct order) and why are they not the same?

    Thanks, that's a helpfuland explanation of the difference and makes sense as all  my photos are actually  in an album (which was an event in the previous version).
    However it doesn't explain why the order in "all photos" is different.  It is not in the order that the albums are arranged, and odd photos seem randomly scattered about separated from other photos from the same album. 
    On a separate note It's also a shame as there is no way of arranging the albums chronologically (which you could do with events)

  • Why are my PMS colors different in CS3 & CS6?

    I originally created a label in CS3, and just had to make a new one a different size. When I did the new art in CS6, the PMS colors are way different! I basically copied and pasted the old art into the new file. I have replaced all PMS colors, but they still do not match the old version. What's up?? Can anyone shed some light on this? The original version (in CS3) is on the left and the new art in CS6 is on the right. Thanks!

    Thanks Monika, but, OMG, I feel a headache coming on! =(  So, is it better to stay with the new Pantone Plus colors, or convert to the older version? How will this effect reprinting of jobs, if the client makes changes and I resave the file in CS6? Will the color be different now, if saved in the Pantone Plus? Maybe I need to do more reading up on this!

  • Why are my Pictures distorted and not fully filled with color?

    HP ENVY 110 e-All-in-One Printer - D411a.  Why do Printed Pictures come out distorted and and Color not filled in fully?

    SG asked rsayen06 several important questions to get at the core of that user's Premiere Elements issues. So far I do not see any answers to the questions. An the answers will be in those details. Although you have offered your project settings and saying that you have the same problem, they are but a small part of the troubleshooting equation.
    1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    2. You say you are putting pictures and music on the Timeline? How many pictures and what are their pixel dimensions? What type of music, what compression and file extension? What is the total duration of the Timeline content?
    3. When you playback the Timeline content in the Edit Mode Monitor are you looking at the rendered or unrender Timeline?
    4. When you say that you see distortion in the pictures...how are they distorted...
    a. from the point of view of pixel aspect ratio, flicker, lines, other?
    b. What do your computer resources look like in the way of installed and available RAM and free hard drive space? Are you getting any error messages associated with any of the project difficulties that you are encountering?
    c. When you get to the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area show for Space Required and Bitrate?
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Why are my pictures on my iPad 2 blurry?

    Why are my iPad 2 pictures blurry?

    Dirty lens, poor light, shaking the iPad when taking the picture, could be lots of reasons.

  • Hi,I am new to I pad. Why are the pictures taken from I pad is not as clear

    Hi,why are pictures taken on the I pad not as clear? I am new to I pad.tks

    Because the camera on iPad was designed to accommodate Facetime.  By the numbers, tells you why.  The rear facing camera is 1.3 Megapixel.  The front facing camera is .7 Megapixel.  In contrast, iPhone includes a 5 Megapixel camera and if you haven't looked at point and shoot or DLSR camera's these days, they all start at 10 Megapixel.  The reality is, iPad camera was never intended to produce camera quality pictures.  In bright light it can take an acceptable picture, but in less than bright light, it is marginal at best.

  • Why are 720p videos the same size as 1080p videos in the iTunes store?

    Normally I rent standard definition videos from the iTunes store. They are around 1.3-2GB in size.
    Today I decided to download high definition! But I am confused by the description. Although the video is available in 720p & 1080 p, the size for HD is 5.14GB. Why haven't they mentioned two sizes for HD? And how come you can't choose ?
    In my preferences I have selected "prefer 720p", but if I have to download a file that is the same size regardless of 720p vs 1080p,  then I would rather download 1080p.

    I checked a few old films and Amazon's prices match iTunes:
    Oliver Twist (1948)
    iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
    Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99 (or on DVD for £3.70)
    Oh, Mr. Porter (1937)
    iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £7.99
    Amazon Buy only £7.99 (or on DVD for £4.10)
    The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934)
    iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £4.99
    Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy 4.99
    A Tale of Two Cities (1935)
    iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
    Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
    excepting only that for some reason you can't rent Oh, Mr. Porter on Amazon. £9.99 does seem a little excessive for The Scarlet Pimpernel. I suppose it's a 'what the market can bear' calculation.
    Interestingly:
    La Dolce Vita
    iTunes SD Rent £3.49 Buy £9.99 (HD Rent £4.49 Buy £13.99)
    Not on Amazon except as a DVD £19.99 (of course it is a three hour film), but
    Curzon Cinema (not stated if SD or HD) Rent £2.00 no purchase.

  • Why are my photos arranged differently on my ipad to my computer

    why are the photos on my ipad album in a different order to that on my computer?

    What version of iOS is your iPad on ? From here :
    If you are not using iPhoto or Aperture on Mac OS X, and if your device is using the latest software, it sorts photos in ascending order by the Date Modified.
    iOS 4 sorts photos by the Date Taken tag of the photos. iOS 3.1.3 and earlier sort photos alphanumerically by the photos' file names.
    So if you want them in a different order, depending upon your iOS version you will either need to modify the 'date modified', 'date taken' or their filenames
