Another thing for all posting here . . .
First, Linhof's problem, I think, is only a perceived one. The only thing different between the 800 dpi scan he was happy with, and 1200 dpi scan that he...
An image will appear sharper the closer you scan it to it's actual size. So, to simply view it on your monitor you would, presumably, scan it at 96 dpi, which is probably your screen resolution....
Good catch, Larry.
Ramiro, you already have some very good clues here, so I'll just add:
I dug out some old negs to scan on my V700 last week and really struggled. Until last week, I had...
Well, I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. I don't have the printer you speak of, but am thinking that this may well be a driver related issue as opposed to a hardware one. Are your drivers up to...
The highlighted portion, I think, would be where you fall on your own sword. The point is general welfare. In your thinking on this topic you have, apparently, unwittingly given "general welfare" a...
And:
I'm not talking about waste, either. I'm talking about the systemic ways in which any problem can become ingrained into any system, from which, we apparently agree, government entities...
Well, since you say "unbiased", neither. I could answer the question if you say "less biased", however. But then we've not gotten our ivory tower just yet either.
Paul and Rick,
You both make good points, and one's that I agree with. My wording was very general, trying to get Sal to see something (though I think he already knows).
Anyway, my only direct...
No, Sal. I got that. I know what you mean when you say "ivory tower." But, inherent in that, is the ideal. If, for example, a perfect scenario were possible apart from government, then why would you...
It seems to me that MHMG is doing his very best to build one.
So, archival inks aren't always the best??? I'm confused. :p
Thanks for your response. I'm pretty comfortable using my desktop inkjet to make fine prints. I haven't done much printing, but with what little I've done, I see some things I like, some things that...
PhotoLine looks interesting to me, too. I downloaded it and will play with it when I get some time. Picture Window Pro was being used by Norman Koren, apparently to very good effect. He couldn't seem...

What about PaintShop Pro? I thought that did 16/48 bit images, but from their site it appears that I've mis-remembered. Google will have to guide you, and I'd say that 16/48 bit should be your guide,...
Matus, just to be clear, you are not upgrade eligible, right? Are you sure there is no inexpensive way for you to get it?
I'm still on CS. I think a potential problem is that it will become more and more difficult to keep older versions running with newer and newer OS and hardware. Compatibility issues will push you to...
Did you simply try scanning a different batch of film? It looks to me like a bad initial calibration for whatever reason, and then it is just sticking with that. I've seen similar, very strange...
Looks cool. I'd be interested in a Windows/Linux version (hopefully it would work under Wine on Ubuntu). Using that alpha channel is something I played with many moons ago, but was unable to make it...
Well, I'm getting really good results now. I still don't know exactly what happened before, but even printing from QImage is working quite fine. I'm getting better prints than I've yet experienced...
This is me. I really have no clue what a quality print looks like . . . at all! But, I want to know, and I want to make them. I want to make them, with simplicity in mind, from a good inkjet printer,...
I'll recheck that. I'm usually very careful with that, however, so I doubt it. Now if I can remember where I put it . . .
Another update. I'm still not 100% sure why I had such a bad print, but I have since printed another image with very good results; the results I was expecting the first time. I printed it from...
If one wants to play with their ink droplets, etc., etc., they could give the Unix Cups printing system a whirl for free. I don't know to what degree, if any, really, it may be able to be tweaked to...
When you're done with that hammer, may I borrow it? I need to have a word with Vuescan about its IR - sometimes I work, sometimes I don't - "Cleaning". :mad:
Sorry everyone. I hadn't thought about the possibility that you wouldn't know about the R2880. I know many/most of you are on bigger machines. This is, basically, just a smaller version of the...
- Update -
I've printed the image again from Photoshop with pretty improved results. I did several things different, however, so I don't know for sure what accounted for the better print, or even...
Here is the photo. The top of the treeline went south and there is really no distinction in tones; it's just a blob across the print. The foreground tree experienced this somewhat also, but the reeds...
I just printed my first print with Epson's Ultra Premium Presentation Matte paper, and I must say, it wasn't even close to what I had on my monitor. In fact, it wasn't even close to being close.
...
Thanks Gem! And Thanks to Tyler above whom I forgot to thank before.
Although, with your comments, Gem, I am a bit nervous about printing because if they don't look as good as I hope, I know that...
Hi Jim. If only I had either of those stores here . . . in Okinawa! I've only visited them a couple of times on a short trip to Tokyo a couple of years ago. I've considered asking over the phone,...
Thanks, Dakotah. Those papers look awesome. I'll try them sometime if I can.
David, thank you. I probably should have stressed that I am in Japan in my original post. Although, I ended up ordering from the Amazon U.S. site anyway. I was originally hoping to get something...
I just ordered this paper from Amazon to have it shipped to me in Japan. I'm just not sure if the paper that I think is the same is correct or not, so I'll get the right one for sure this time and...
Okay! Thanks again, Gem. I appreciate your help.
Okay! Your suggestion of Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte looks like a good bet, Gem. And thank you for your added "thumbs up", Sergio.
I'm in Japan, and the paper is likely still...
I'm sorry to say, but I'm kinda behind the proverbial 8'ball here. I have to print around 12~13 images for a joint exhibition with my wife (who will be showing her pressed flower work) in a few...
It doesn't seem, to me, logical to conclude this as a hardware issue. Even if it were, it would "still be a software" issue. What I mean is, since it is consistent, it would be very easy, relatively,...
Yes, Rick, that is the workflow that I once desired, and still do really, but I have a couple of issues with it right now. I'm scanning 6x9 images at 6400 dpi, then resampling down to 2400 in PS....
