    Re: Scanner comparison: 3 scans added

    There's no great logic behind scanner selection. If someone volunteers, I take them up on the offer. The last time the film was in Sydney (around 2005), a friend had an Imacon Photo lying around. The...

    One is a Screen DT-S1045AI from Ernst Vegt of Coast Imaging Arts in Canada.

    Two of these are alternative scans to the original Heidelberg...

    Re: Scanner comparison: 5 scanners added

    Regarding the 848 scan, I wonder if that machine is a little out of calibration. There is a major difference in scan sharpness from the 949 (which Dave said was serviced very recently). Both scans...

    Keith, taking a closer look, I think your comments do apply to the iQsmart scan. This is probably a function of my sharpening, as it doesn't seem to be true of the unsharpened crops (hold your mouse...

  17. Re: Scanner comparison: Creo high end flatbeds added

    Steve, there is an Imacon 949 on the itinerary, when the film makes it back here to Australia. The 949 is still limited to 2050 ppi for 4x5 though, a slight improvement over the 848's 2040 ppi.

    Tom, can the RSS engine support notification of new messages within existing threads, as it used to in the old site? Currently it seems to only advise of creation of new threads, like photo.net does.
