Photoshop Elements is really quite good - MUCH better than the previous "LE" versions (and light-years beyond PhotoDeluxe). If you're able to do what you need, then don't worry about it.

Yeah, 16...

I had a pup tent for a few hours - I couldn't load/unload more than one holder at a time, and it was tricky at that. The next size up is a dream, plus it still folds down small enough to fit in my...

Thanks Tim - so tape is the magic answer after all. :)

(BTW, I understand the basics of testing - I just wanted to try the step wedge in order to save some film...)

Sorry - I've seen it here more than a few times, so it seemed like kind of a common thing to do. The most recent description I've seen of this is Ken Miller's post to:...

Yeah - the idea is to point the camera at an evenly-lit surface and focus on infinity.

Having it right on the film eliminates the need to compensate for bellows extension (or a really huge step...

Okay - I'm totally ashamed to be asking such a stupid question, but here I go...

I'd like to do some testing using a step wedge. I shoot 8x10. How do I attach a step wedge to the film for the...

I'm still very much a beginner with LF. I went the 8x10 route since I only wanted to contact print. While I don't regret my choice, I will say that if I were doing it again today, I'd start with...

Thanks for the replies, and the laughs! Sorry I missed the discussion a few weeks ago - I was a bit nervous last night and did just a short search.

No stains on the clothes, much less worry this...

I just did my first (rollo) pyro processing in my terminally leaky unicolor drum (I've done everything to fix it, but it still leaks - I'll never use it again).

Anyway, I put a tray down to catch...

"it would almost lose half of 500 ml developer in a 6 minute cycle" Yeah - I finally figure out to push it as far to the side as I can and put a tray under the leaky part to catch it all.

Maybe I...

Just tried this last night - no dice. I guess my tank is too far gone (it will leak a significant amount with even normal development times).

If I can share my eBay lament here - last week a Balcar flash kit came up, exactly what I was looking for. Two days later (it was a seven day auction) it was gone - my only guess is that someone...

I *always* forget to add the bellows extension factor. Granted, I've only been at LF for < 6 months, and I can count on one hand (with fingers to spare) the number of shots that needed it, but...

I've read about that happening with pyro (pyrocat, specifically). I got the impression that they would only affect UV light for alt processing - it wasn't totally clear, though.

Have you tried...

I've got a 24 incher in a barrel (non-red dot) with the same problems, although there are also some "cleaning marks" on mine.

My main concern is how to clean the dust on the inner elements? I...

I've been doing my homework on this very question lately (8x10 portraits), and have come across some conflicting answers.

If I'm not going to be doing any interiors, do I really need a 5000 w/s...
