What ambient temperatures do you see in your garage? If your garage is stable and not too hot I would suggest a cooler with a blanket inside placed over the bottles. This has been my method of...

Len,
Looking back, I would do the same thing. Mark does have a good point with a custom made back and holder for wet plate. That solution would save the standard back of the camera from silver...

I asked Jody Ake at InCamera Industries to build it. I can't remember exactly what it cost. $500-600. I think he no longer builds them but he did make two of them with the hope of selling the other.

Alex,

I converted a old 8 x 20 Korona wooden holder for wet plate and got a year of service out of it before the residual silver nitrate ate thru the modified steel sheet septum. My long term...

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. Gary has been on my list for some time now, unfortunately it's not going to happen this trip. Benton Harber sounds interesting, maybe I'll give it a look later...

Hello All,
I'm in south west Michigan near New Buffalo and was wondering if there is anything of interest other than the obvious beach stuff to photograph. Something cool like a old factory tucked...

John,

Thanks Guys,

Up to this point all of the scanning I have been doing was for digitizing my prints for my website and for gallery/photo competitions. So I was doing it in 8 bit. But now that I'm...

I am however able to convert it to 16 bit in PS after scanning. Just does not seem right.

Hello,

I'm trying to scan at 16 bit depth grayscale with a epson 4990 using silverfast se plus. The 16->8 bit grayscale tab works but I can't select the 16 bit option tab.

After scanning and...

Cheers,

I'm wanting to move my 5 year old epson 4990 to a new computer with cs5 and windows 7. My question is can I use cs5 as a scanning software to run the scanner or do I need some other software...

Al, I've been through the same thing. My solution...contact printing on platinum/palladium! It seems to be the latest thing with me...use a large camera to make small images :-)

My first look would be grainger or mcmaster-carr. Grainger has a fairly good tech staff when it comes to motors. Just tell them what the application is for. I'm assuming being a variable speed it...

Dave, Most good vc papers, Ilford for example supply info on paper grades vs filtration with a dichroic head so you can change contrast without having to change exposure time. I've been printing for...

Tom, Unfortunetly you need to update the circuit board as well as the motor. Here is a link to the Jobo page.http://www.jobo.com/jobo_service_analog/us_analog/bulletins/b019.htm
