@carusb @analog_cafe @nanoelquant A good clarification would be to specify whether the files are unconverted or converted.
@carusb @analog_cafe @nanoelquant The converted file size also varies widely based on the film format. My 35mm and 6x9 TIFFs are the largest at over 200MB because they use the entire D800 sensor. The 6x4.5 TIFFs are the smallest at around 100MB. The 6x6 TIFFs are ~130MB.
@tomnorthfilm @carusb @nanoelquant yes, you're right, I should've clarified which files! I'm building a film inversion tool, so I'm trying to estimate the amount of resources needed to process an average file.
@analog_cafe @carusb @nanoelquant The average size of a NEF on my D800 is 45-50MB. That is the file size that NLP has to deal with.
@analog_cafe @tomnorthfilm @nanoelquant If I wanted to do a film conversion from a negative scanned at 3600 samples per inch (one of the native resolutions of my Plustek 7500i... 1800 spi is not fine enough), I end up with a 100 MB 16-bit TIFF or DNG Vuescan RAW file. I'd guess the Silverfast AI RAW scans would be similar. So 3600x3600x1.5 =? 19 Mpixels x3 colours x2 bytes ~ 116 MB...
