You mean a random search with the right words triggers an ad on the side of the Google page and one must pay $20 each time someone clicks it. What about folks who just dink around clipping those ads...
Check with lithographer's supply house. There is a yellow, gridded paper which is ued for what you seek. The name escapes me, but I use it all the time to mask negs. Much thinner than rubylith.
Ektapan, Verichrome Pan, Plus-X in sheet film. No finer films were ever made. Agfapan 100 - gone, also. You do owe yourself trying a more conventional emulsion like Ilford FP4+, Efke 100 or...
Also, toss the .ini file. It acts like a preference file and deleting it makes the application "reset." On the Mac, anyway, this is a common solution to many application or even Finder and System...
Glad you are getting closer. Also, I don't know why, but my experience is that it is better NOT to include any space outside the actual image when scanning.
I would e-mail Ed Hamrick (support@hamrick.com).
Also, take a look at the Luminous Landscape web site. The recent review may have some tips about image character and adjusting it.
Dale Labs has done C-41 only for me w/ 120 and 35mm as well as anyone. It used to be just $2 to develop a roll of C-41, but I am sure it has gone up. They don't skimp on the chems. I have also...
Brian's comments should be noted, but these older scanners go for so little compared to new of comparable quality (if anything being made today is so; maybe, Microtek) you can afford a dud and go on...
"Single-shot" hobbyist and fine art photography have always been the beneficiary of advances in cinematography and commercial photography habits. Why was Tri-X developed in the first place, and so...
Saw the same ad and what Ernest says occurred to me. A Rolleiflex that shows a dent in certain areas-what might have been effected and so on.
The Kodak Portra films have scanned well for me in 120 and 4x5. In 35mm, I've done well with Fuji Superia 400, the consumer film.
Motion picture films may still be shot on film stock—for a while. And, remember, that advances for the motion picture industry and commercial photography have always given the fine art photographer...
It was an excellent article; well-written. I admire your artistry and your integrity-the two should always go hand in hand. Good luck.
One important determinant-how many photo or art schools don't even have wet darkrooms? Would be an interesting survey.
QT, I would certainly stay in touch with Mike Smith as he has a track record in publishing and promoting books. Many years ago, Ralph Gibson also did a wonderful job with the Lustrum books. More...
Agree with Oren. In the past, PW has cut for me such sizes as 10x15 cm, full plate, and for vintage LF folders like the Autographics and so on. When it came to 4x5, 5x7, 8x10, I would buy Kodak or...
Deserving appointment. Best.
Business ops-I would go Back to the Future, like the Harley Davidson conclaves in your neck of the woods. A gleaming Harley and leather chic would look great in tintype. You have many tent options...
I think the name should reflect the material used. An emulsion is an emulsion, an ink is an ink. And while I agree that the "silver gelatin print" is nothing more than a photograph-remember, them,...
Tri-X @ 200 in D-76 1:1 for 8-1/2 minutes.
Any 100 speed film in Divided D-23.
Remember, many photogs would make a master print, copy negative that and then contact print en mass. That is what Lens Work does, in effect, with its Special Editions prints.
The large format manufacturers and dealers should be strong advocates for the large format community. (2) There is no reason Ilford or Kodak couldn't do it but it is clear that the best solution...
That format fits the standard newspaper 2-column width, I believe. That was one of the reasons the 3-1/2x4-1/2 format was also prevalent-the neg could be contact printed. The photographer could get...
What camera is your 4x5 folder? There is also a 152mm/162mm ?? Optar and there are 150mm and 165mm Tessars in good Compur or Compund shutters that were on 10x15 folding plate cameras. Also,...
Very rare. You can try and run Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility application. I would disconnect and reconnect the scanner physically-using Firewire or USB? Otherwise, it's back to the old...
Leave it be. There are so many other variables in the performance of a TLR (overall lens collimation, front standard being truly perpendicular to lens axis, baffling, shutter, etc.) that I sincerely...
Paul, we can always get for you here in the States from J&C Photo. Start with the fotoimpex web site. GOOD LUCK.
Yes. It was printed April, 2004 and #9 WAS the last issue. Judy may still have copies available. Same e-mail address.
I have done well finding vintage contact frames on eBay. Really beautiful ones that I have refinished. In the 8x10 size, you can also find wooden plate glass holders that have a dark slide. ...
You got great resources close-by. The photography department at Newhouse; the art department at SU; the art department at Cornell; and Eastman Kodak and Eastman House in Rochester. GOOD LUCK.
Mike, didn't they offer to replace your presumably defective one?
I agree. High-end digital medium format back (see Luminous Landscape for info and reviews) and a gentle vaccum positioning system. You still need to light the posters and I am not so sure flash is...
I agree about the gray scale calibration. Why not also try with a set of 3 filters that is a bit off red, green and blue-just as painters will work with different palettes of primaries. See what...
Maybe you could arrange a trial. It is also much easier for someone to be able to sell such a full kit at one fell swoop and that should earn you a discount. While the items are resellable, a lot...
While the Linoscan doesn't have great specs I suspect that its actual ppi are pretty close to stated ppi and its innards are probably better than the Epsons (just a guess on my part based on the size...
Bill, this is one of the results of the desktop revolution. Folks are using inkjet printers as if they were printing presses, which doesn't make sense to me. Fine art lithographers like Gardner...
Calam. Maybe the folks at Photographer's Formulary can help you. They probably know how the process works and you could eventually substitute your own stock solutions.
Does it have a set of dials that allow you to choose Y M C filtration. Most color enlargers are set up for subtractive color printing. The Philips SP? uses a postive color system B G R. Otherwise,...
