    Re: Large Format Landscapes

    Alan,

    I scan all of my C-41 as a positive file, and do the inversion in photoshop. I apply my scanner color correction profile to the initial positive image, and then invert it. A good place to...

    Re: Large Format Landscapes

    If you’re referring to the vignetting, I believe I got my filter holder in the shot. Hadn’t tested it on the 90mm lens yet.

  6. Re: Best and affordable 4x5 film scan service provider?

    When scanning C41, it is difficult to know what corrections to make as a scanner operator. An inverted image that looks too cold to the scanner operator may look too warm to the shooter. It's best to...

    Interesting. About a week ago, upon reviewing some E6 slides from a couple years ago, I saw this same problem. I wonder if it is the sleeves I keep them in. What kind of sleeves are you keeping your...

    Re: Dark patches on negatives; SP 445

    I would say that it’s insufficient agitation. I would try inverting the tank. I normally do a couple of inversions once per minute, but you can vary this to taste. To avoid leaks, squeeze the tank...

    Mike,

    I'm assuming you're using the MOD54 film holder with your Patterson tank? Could you provide any details on your processing method? Loading, inversion method, etc. The more detail the better....

    Does anybody have the 4500 FST software for windows? I didn't get a chance to download it before everything was deleted off the Scan-Hi-End group.

    I think it would help if you either recorded a video, or wrote down the sequence of messages that are shown on the scanner screen during the prescan calibration. This way we can see at...

    Re: Best Drum Scanning Service?

    I’d have to second what Richard has said. There’s absolutely no way an Epson scanner can match a good drum scan... not only in resolution but in shadow detail as well.

    Since this lighthouse isn’t real (I think it was built to look like one) it’s very possible they got their inspiration from the one where you live.
