To me it sounds like your files have been through a process by which their output file size has been speccified
..yeah that was my first thought as well, it would make sense.
Resolution is the same for all though - all are 16.9 MB, 2433 x 2433 px, no matter if almost black or very detailled and colourful..
Regarding Frontier scans:
My experience is as a customer. I've never used the scanner myself.
To me it sounds like your files have been through a process by which their output file size has been specified, like in Lightroom.
Did the lab perhaps increase file size to 'spec' after noticing those particular, low-detail images had created relatively small file sizes? You can probably tell ... is the resolution now huge, and different for each?
Some perspective: If your files were created at the sufficient resolution and saved as a .tiff (even with LZW or another lossless compression) then you're files are effectivley as good as possible. You can't see lossless compression.
