it's not helping you to scan at that size, it's just interpolating the data. Scan at a smaller size and do the interpolation yourself in photoshop. Your optical resolution is going to be somewhere...
create your portfolio in Indesign, you can link your fullsize images directly to the document and then compress and downsample on export to a reasonable size. This gives you the maximum amount of...

Premiere print shield is excellent.
yeah, it really looks and sounds like a full print head alignment will do the trick, and I agree that the best way to do it is the manual method.
The school where I used this processor had chemistry delivered from a fuji supplier, rather than dealing with b&h retail.
It seems like you've got some good sources here--I used one of these for several years, it's a great processor. The one I used didn't have the drying unit, I would just drop the print into a tray...
with that camera and a 90mm lens you'll want to use a recessed lensboard too.
I use a 240mm nikor copal 3 lens on my chamonix 4x5 from time to time--the lens barely fits on the board, and is quite heavy (typically it stays on my 810) but it has never been a problem, and I...
I had a feeling that might be the case.
I just stumbled onto this harrison tent knockoff on ebay:

+1 for praus.
what sort of tape are you using? I've wondered if there was a good way to go about doubling up--
totally possible--I use 350ml for 5 sheets of 4x5, and have good results. My guess is it's best to err on the side of extra chemistry since the drum is a little too large for 4x5.
It won't recognize it, and it might not even fit.
I have a friend who rigged up a number of compact florescent bulbs on light stands--probably 7-10 on each stand for a simple, inexpensive, and effect continuous light source for tintypes.

The place to start is with a .fff scan--these scanners tend to have much more difficulty with dense film than with pulling shadow info. It could be that the bulb is going, but you'd expect to also...
great! Photoville is a lot of fun.
here is a screen grab of the dialog box:

I suspect you'll want to set black generation to maximum and the total ink limit % to 400.
that should do...
It's under "Convert to profile"
set your profile as "custom CMYK" and it opens a dialog box with the controls.
that's going to be handled by the specific CMYK profile you use--UCR/GCR in the color profile is preventing you from outputting a file with 400% washes of color, in practice though I've never seen...
The p800 seems like a really good printer, it has some smart updates to the 3880, and even has a roll feed attachment. It's supposed to have solved a lot of the problems with the printer damaging...
the I-90 corridor is pretty interesting--I lived in syracuse for a few years, and there is a lot of interesting stuff in that area, plus there is lightwork, which is a cool place/probably has some...
I have to second Jim, if you want consistent, even results that begin to allow the richness of your large format negatives to show, then some sort of dedicated film scanner is essential.
that...
For what it's worth, I spent most of yesterday bicycling around NYC with my chamonix 4x5, a 135mm lens, a few holders, my meter, and a loup in a messenger bag, and it was great--the weight was far...
The real moral of the story is that if you want to shoot using a tripod without really worrying about being harassed, get out of manhattan. There are some great views in Long Island City (Queens) and...
the older epsons are great--the 9600s and 9800s seem to last forever, it's the x900 line that seem to kick the bucket, or at least the print heads go. It's really lousy.
I have no idea if anything is coming out this year, but I suspect in the next few there will be something--they just updated the 3880, which has been a long time coming, and I heard a unsubstantiated...
totally--that's a good trick!
Lenny, that's right, but doesn't that build a mask using the values of that layer? I usually do that to make a overall mask to adjust luminosity, but if I'm trying to isolate a section pulling the...
i like to do this sort of masking using alpha channels. It's a little tricky to describe, so I made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAJDZQLMVlA&feature=youtu.be

I can't speak to vuescan, but silverfast is a capable program, though it isn't the most intuitive.
