On the road to Hot Springs

|
New project - just started - found in a family steamer trunk. Hot Springs

The photo album totals thirty-three pages, two photos to a page, with both sides being used towards the end of the album.  On each page of two pictures the corresponding negatives are tucked beneath.  The film type is 116 - which is slightly larger than 120 - medium format.  The camera is unknown.  Using an Epson Perfection™ V700 Photo scanner, each page of photos are scanned at 24 bit color 600DPI.  The negatives are scanned at 8 bit grayscale (b&w) 2400 DPI.  Each new image is loosely cropped, saved as a TIFF, finally resized and saved as a JPG.  Scans are not retouched (Photoshop.)  Each picture takes up about 100MB TIFF, each negative around 50MB as a TIFF, less than 1MB as a JPG.
