Thank you for your response Preston,

Thanks for your response Marc,
I was planning on using Vuescan, but that shouldn't matter for my question. I didn't get any targets with my scanner.
In order to calibrate just the scanner, I...
I just picked up an Epson V750 and I am investigating how to calibrate it. I understand that you have to use a transparency target like an IT8 target to give the calibration routine a known set of...
Thanks for all the help. I just spent the last 5 days shooting Death Valley with the 4x5 and figured out that my problem was a combination of being too close to the glass and getting use to the...
My problem might be that i'm too close to the gg. I was using a small blanket as a dark cloth and I think it made me stand too close. Tomorrow I'll try a larger blanket and stand further back to...

Bushpilot--I agree I like the speed of...
Here is my first 4x5 image. It was taken at the Santa Barbara Courthouse in Santa Barbara, California. Please excuse the crude scan. I placed the slide on a light table and took a picture of it...
Hi everyone!
Over the past couple of weeks I have been putting together my first 4x5 kit. I took my first image yesterday and was able to get it developed today. It was exciting to see that...
