Art, It was an original show with recent sketches with Bobby and his adult son. Cloning? Egads man, don't even ~think~ it. Guy I have to admit I haven't seen the show since we got a color X-Mozilla-Status: 0009 ago??) Come to think of it, is that the original L. Welk, or have they been cloning him? ;-) Art

Frank, I am using an older HP 1120C. I don't have that feature in my printer driver. I know I need a new printer, but the film scanner was more important. Most of my work goes directly to the printer on a ZIP disk, the printer isn't critical. Yet. Guy I'm a little confused by this thread and it makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

Gordon, That is exactly what I did, I just didn't mention that I had scanned it, then manipulated it in Picture Publisher. I can't remember where I read it, maybe scantips.com, but would the fact that I have several copies loaded into memory for the UNDO function have anything to do with it? I will go have a looksee, I just remembered that ... Guy Guy: I also am new at this, have an LS-30, and a system with much less capacity than yours. I have found (through trial and error) that the system handles the scan better if you scan at 2700 set at the original negative size, then play with it in a processing package like Photoshop. When I print it from that file at around 300 ppi at the 7 x 10 size, Windows does not seem to get frustrated. Gordon Guy Prince wrote: What stumped me was when I scanned that same slide at 2650 dpi and attempted to make a 5 x 7 size image suitable for printing. (Within about 30 minutes of using the filmscanner it was clear that my old PIII 600 with ultra-wide scsi wasn't going to be enough). Well, Win98 said I didn't have enough memory to make a 5 x 7 image. I was actually shocked and did some digging around in my memory to see if any unnecessary programs were loaded. No. I have 256mb of ram and 1.6 gigs free on my swap file drive (c:). I guess I should knock it back down to 1350 or 1200, that seems to give me a 4 x 6 print and 5 x 7 okay. Guy

Art, Point taken. But the bright orange blazers and pants with the bright orange background kept me mesmerized. I was helpless. Guy Anyone who watches (and worse still, listens to) Lawrence Welk should be forced to sit in the garage and freeze his *(*@ off, IMHO. ;-) And I don't believe you could find 5 people in the same district who would watch that show, so you don't need all the sofa space, so just buy a second desktop computer and toss one of the sofas. ;-) Art

Hello Johnny, AHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAH, you SAW IT Wasn't that the best show ever? Yes, the woman who sung "when I wish upon a star" was a true gift. If anyone out there taped that episode, I would pay ... for the tape. My wife and I sat glued to the during the entire show. Even through Bobby's set. Lawrence Welk and C.W. "Butch" Wells' dutch oven and camp cooking show is all my weekend needs.

Hello Tony, TONY HUGS !!! People think I am nuts, in my circle of friends for not doing image editing on my laptop. Thank you so much for putting it into print. I am new to the list and my just like it here.

However, they are no good for critical image editing, they have a TS completely different, limited and weird-shaped gamut and gamma to CRT's. TS They are getting better, but I've not yet heard of any suitable for TS graphics.

Re[2]: filmscanners: Re: monitors
Wow, some very informative information here. I have been running Viewsonic's products for years. And buying them for our small company. I am sure you can do better, but how much more are you willing to spend? I can't use the Sony monitors, or any other brand that uses the Trinitron tube. They have two visible stripes running horizontally across the middle of the monitor. Although, that was a while back, they may have removed those. But when you are spending time pouring over editing your photos, the last thing you want is two stripes right in the middle of it all. I have also been buying the Matrox G400 max. Yeah, that 360mhz RAMDAC is awesome for 2D work. If you can find a cool local dealer, maybe they would be willing to let you try a few out. See what YOU think.

RE: Re[2]: filmscanners: Re: monitors
The two horizontal lines on Trinitron monitors are intrinsic to the design and as far as I know will always be there. I know, it is a nuisance. I'm always mistaking them for a scratch on the film, for that's just about what they look like. I prefer the black matrix tubes, because the best of them provide sufficient color saturation and contrast for image editing and viewing, and generally are better for reading text. If you have very sharp eyes, the vertical aperture grill on Trinitron will also be visible to you and could be bothersome unless the display is very sharply focused, as are our Sun monitors. Basically, they are so sharp that I am willing to put up with the visibility of the aperture grill. I haven't seen the .22 aperture grill versions. That should be narrow enough so you can't see it, but I can definitely see it on the .24 versions from 18". Some Viewsonic monitors are very expensive, some aren't. Depends on what you want and the bandwidth you want.

p I watched a rep from a big name company trying to demo one of their filmscanners p on a laptop recently. Sigh. Misguided foos. I went to a dealer day at a local camera shop and got to touch a Nikon D1. But it was awesome, not fuzzy at all.
