Yep, that's it Jack. I use this action to selectively remove spots etc from scanned film, I 'paint' through the mask to reveal the filtered layer beneath.

Jack,
You got in going in the right direction! In CS I just clicked on the 'add mask' option on the layers palette. I found in CS2 I had to go to the menu option Layer/Layer Mask/Hide all. It all...
is CS, when I create the mask the D&S effect 'disapears' and is revealed by using the paint brush. In CS2, the effect remains on screen. Why?
I've moved from CS to CS2 and I'm having problems with layer masks. I used to have an action for localised spot removal (even with quickloads, I always seem to get some dust on the film!), it used...
Then I'll trust you to keep to that. Update done.
In Europe, unlike the USA, we have data protection legislation that protects us from our private details being shared with others without our permission. There are 'safe harbour' agreements that U.S....
It is not the film. I have never set off the alarm when carrying film, including polaroid and quick-loads through the detector.
An interesting buch of opinions. Before we call going away not having actually learned anything, anyone got any facts to backup their assertions?
Walt, I never withdrew my comment about toy cameras.
Yes, Walt, it was an attempt at humour. I'm fed up of reading about new film being announced, only to find it's not available in sheets.
not much use to us though, its in toy camera sizes.
I have scanned 10x8 colour film on the 4990, and had a print made that was 79" on the long size. This was on a Durst Lamdba printer at 400 dpi. I scanned at 2400. As I specifically wanted people to...
Thank you for replying Jim. I supose the nub of my question is: you must have tried purely digital printing before making the decision to use this process. Which one's did you try & why did you...
I got the latest addition on Monday (I'm in London). The new Copy Editor is clearly doing their job - well done!
I was intriged by the article about Jim Collum use of Platinum over digital...
Thanks for that, Ed. Next week will you be showing us all how to tie our shoelaces?
yes, Paul. Don't forget the pre-wash! As I usualy shoot FP4 it's not something I'm used to, and have found out the hard way it must be done.
here's a sample of 10x8 R3 film rated at 6400 iso. This is a piece of film 9 mm x 6 mm. This enlargement is approximately 20x the orginal, at 72 dpi. This equates to an enlargement 160" x 200", or...
Rollei R3 film will push to 6400 no problems. You need to use their High Speed developer to get the best results.
What are the maximun dimensions & weight for carry-on luggage on US internal flights?
Ive got a 4990 and it does a very good job with 5x4 and 10x8 film, so long as you understand it's limitations. I think of it as the contact print part of my workflow. If I want a large (> 16 x 20)...
The 'guide' for 10x8 is just that, a guide. The internal dimensions are greater than 10 x 8, so you can move the film about. The film just lies on top of the glass, which means you can get newton...
Wash the negatives on the processor (ie 10 x water changes for E6).
I have a Gitzo G1548 that weighs 3 kilos but can take a load of 15 Kgs (33 lbs). It's rock steady with a heavy 10x8 camera at full bellows extension. I didn't go for the geared column option, but...

Why not look at a Hobo camera, available in 10x8 and 5x7 from Bostick and Sullivan:

He obviously likes the 'saturate' option in photoshop.
Thanks, Guys. I got the impression that this was more of a triumph of packaging over function.
Has anyone had a chance to use this new scanner from Epson? If so, how does it compare to a flatbed like the 4990?

Tedd,
why carry on? Why not include your tripod with your hold backage (wrapped up in your clothes)?
Brian,

I regularly use a 300mm lens for 5x4 landscapes, and I cannot recall ever having to stop down to f45 - are you making full use of tilts & swings? By the way, as the G Claron range were designed...

Yes, Frank.
Tim,
drop me an email & I'll see what I can do for you. I need to re-read your message with the camera in front of me to fully understand your requirments.
Murray,
I have no problems scanning 10x8 B&W and transparencies on my 4990, with the emulsion either way up. I understand the DOF of the lens used is a few millimetres, so perhaps you could try...
If I had a choice between a thoughful and interesting magazine covering Large Format photography or a copy of Pedantic Proofreader's Periodical, I know which one I'd go for.
didnt notice the 'beginners section' bit. I take it back.
Hello.
When you post trolls like this try and be a bit original , go for something unusual. Wild claims about colour saturation belong in the beginners section of photography. Please go there.
