Robert, I read that original article. It is helpful to any photographer. Thanks, Steve

I have one more question. The framing job I have previously posted about, used non-glare glass. I always thought that my photo was poorly printed as it seemed somewhat muddy in the shadow areas. ...

When I had my first 16 x 20 photo mounted, the shop used a dry mount method and mounted the photo on thick white paper that was then taped to the mat. It has always bothered me that the mounted...

Bob, Are the examples in your reply ratios? For example, 2' and 3's to me, mean 2 feet x 3 feet? I didn't understand how to relate this to the optical center formula you mentioned? Thanks, Steve

John,

Do you center your 16 x 20 images in the 22 x 28 size mat? If you offset them as recommended by some in this thread, what are the dimensions? Thanks Steve

Thanks everyone for the good guidance. I have a bit of artistic visualization to do. The idea of a wider bottom on the mat had not occurred to me. Steve

What is considered the "usual" mat size for a 16" x 20" print? I used a 24" x 28" size mat and frame and it takes up to much wall space and dominates the photo. It seems that a 20" x 24 would be...

Thanks, I even received a free one month trial to Lynda.com from Adobe with my purchase of CS5. Steve

I successfully installed 2 more Gigs of memory and second SATA internal hard drive. I also just installed my new Photoshop CS-5 program. My old Dell 8400 really runs fast now, not just in...

I have been using Photoshop 7.0 since day one and just purchased CS5. I am overwhelmed with all the Photoshop information out there. Can anyone recommend a comprehensive on-line or cd training...

Thanks a million for the follow up. Steve

Thanks a million. When I get this done I will report back on this forum. Steve

AOK, I will check to see if my computer has an eSATA connection. Probably not. I have two 512 RAM chips and two open slots. I know how to install memory, as I put in the extra 512 a few years...

Thanks. For now I will try using the old computer, since I have an external HD that I can use for the scratch disk. If it works reasonably well, then I still have two more slots for more RAM. Steve

In a related question, will my old PC, a Dell Dimension 8400, Pentium 4, 2.99 GHZ, 1.0 GB RAM run the Photoshop CS4 or CS5 version? This computer runs my Photoshop 7.0 fine, but I have no...

How does Photoshop Elements version 7 compare to the full Photoshop 7.0? I have Photoshop 7.0 and want to upgrade, but can't afford newest CS 4 version. Thanks, Steve

Hi all, After an absence from large format photography, I am back in good health and have just stocked up on 120 fuji quickloads. Will you advise on what asa ratings to use on them and how best to...

I was recently at the Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River. On my 4x5 camera, my 90 mm lense wasn't even close to capturing the view. Can anyone tell me what 4x5 lens would cover the scene fully? ...

Well, I spent two nights out there on the 29th and 30th of May. The road was long and washboard and really dusty. The last 5 miles was very rough, but I had no problems with my trailer. ...

Thanks for all the replies. I am leaving from Phoenix tomorrow and will report back. Steve

When I first used my Canham 4 x 5, I didn't properly seat the rear of my bellows when I roatated my film back to vertical positon. It is easy to do where the corner tabs hold the edge of the bellows...

Hi. I am set to go to Tuweep (Toroweep) next week. I have a modified 4wd Trooper that can handle the worst roads possible. The Ranger told me that the last 5 miles is pretty rough and I want to...

I was all over Machu Picchu in August 2006 with 4 x 5 camera and tripod and had no problems with the authorities. Other people wandering into my photos, yes. I got great photos though.

I was in Upper Antelope Canyon in early December and still had a few people wandering around. But they moved out of the way quickly when they saw I was taking photos. I used a 4 x 5 and the day was...

It looks like everyone has now stated their truth on the Costco photo issue.

I have one more question. What is the typical cost of a typical 12 x 18 size color print, that is made by the...

Lenny,

AOK.

Thanks, Steve

Lenny,

I would be proud to show the image to anyone of any era. It is a wonderful image! I also had a larger 16 x 20 printed by the best printing lab in Phoenix, Arizona and the 12 x 16 Costco...

Lenny,

I just saw your response to my post in praise of the prints that I had made at Costco. Are you saying that my photo of Machupicchu isn't artistic and of presentation quality? That it...

The Costco in Phoenix, Arizona has accommodated me and printed large 240 MB TIFF files scanned from 4 x 5 transparencies. I took them in to the store in for printing and the operator read the CF...

I recently purchased a new fujinon 240 A, f9 from Badger Graphics at a good price. It is just great! I highly recommend it.

Thanks for your help, I'll follow up with the seller to look on the accessory shoe and also to see if there is another number or letter per the Bob Salomon reply. Steve

Help on finding the age of a Linhoff Technica 4 x 5 field camera. Where can I find the serial number on a Linhoff Technica. The one that I am looking at has the number 511112 on the Tripod...
