Just bought an Epson v600 to scan 50 year old snapshots stored in shoeboxes.  I have both the Epson scanning software and the newest VueScan.  I've been doing apple to apple testing of both, and find the file size from VueScan is triple that of Epson?  Both seem to produce OK results.

My plan is to cover the entire glass with photos and crop individuals with Photoshop later on.  My question is DPI?

800dpi seems to get me roughly up to an 8x10, and scans quickly.  1,200dpi is slow!  Also, should I let the scanner color correct and sharpen, or use Photoshop later one by one?  Remember these are 50 year old shapshots from some old shitty camera, they will never be digital quality.
