Following on from my previous thread about Lightroom and viable alternatives for LF in B&W and colour, with the support of the forum members I managed to get a legitimate download copy of Photoshop CS2.
I can now do what I originally intended which is to correct the highlight and shadows etc. Pretty simple stuff I guess.
As I have been scanning at 4000dpi for maximum detail, which equates to 40,000 x 32,000 pixels on 10x8, I have been getting file sizes of around 1.2gb for B&W. I haven't actually scanned any colour yet but that would be limited to 2000dpi and 2gb by my scanner.
My new problem is that PS CS2, whilst loading fine, wont output to print an images with any 'length' above 30,000 pixels; the 'Print' button is just greyed out. I also downloaded Epson Print Layout (EPL) but that wont even load the file. EPL did manage to load a 5x4 Velvia scan at 4000dpi with a file size of 729mb.
Am I missing something or what? One of the reasons for me getting the 10x8 was to record huge amounts of detail, slow down my whole picture taking process, improve my technique, and have access to movements etc. Now it appears I can't print any of my pictures or, I presume, will have to reduce the resolution of my scans which defeats the object of doing 10x8. I may as well have bought a 5x4
So, how do I set up to print one of these large files and have simple layout possibilities, such as image size on paper and margin size, and be able to load ICC profiles?
Thanks ...Sweep
