    Re: Images shot on X-ray film

    I think I might be in luck. My S&S holders seem to barely accommodate the 178mm size - assuming the Fuji HR-A film is also exactly 7 inches (177.8 mm).

    If it's not exactly 7" I'll eat a sheet.

    If you bring me to Korea to do it!

    I know you have a big bed scanner, so what is the max size file you can produce with 14X17?

    I'm not enamored of the landscape here in the deep south...Clyde Butcher can have it (I'm not going wading in chest-deep water to get the shot, sorry!). But if I do move somewhere that I feel speaks to me...I think a 7x17 or 14x17 is in my future. I can just fit 14x17 onto my scanner bed (!).

    Only if there was demand, and we the tiny percentage are not demand. But I think this is just a price cut, not the end.

    Randy, I'm not sure, but an 8x10 scan that I did at 3200 DPI was "only" 250 megabytes after tweaking and saving as an 8-bit greyscale TIFF. I think as a 16-bit color image as, I originally scanned it at, it was 2 gigabytes or something obscene.

    Re: Images shot on X-ray film

    Corran, remind me name of it, please.. i keep forgetting to put it into constant search

    From top of me head - 8x10 scanned at 4800 is 2.2G as 16 bit compressed TIFF. I gave up on scanning them at that b/c Photoshop cant really open them. It exceeds some internal counter and poor thing dies.

    Mix your own fix, it does save money.
    I was doing 4 sheets of 8x10 with 30 ml of Rodinal (each individually). 1:50 dilution 1500ml water + 30 ml chemistry. It wasn't until the 5th sheet that I started to see a loss in contrast. Since I shot an extra sheet for each portrait I was doing, I decided to develop two different portraits first, then develop the second copies next just in case there was any contrast loss.

    Once I moved up to the tank and hangar method, my contrast went up. I tried 3.8 liters (1 gallon) with 75ml Rodinal, but reduced it to 70ml for 2 sets of 4 hangars (totaling 8 negatives with 70ml chemistry. I might try reducing the chemistry some more, because that's still 10ml more than I was using before in less water.

    I don't know how scientific it is, but for all practical purposes it works for me.
