First Inkjet printing problem.
Hi, Okay i've been making some prints with my new Canon S800 and the main problem i am having is with where the colours blend into another colours it appears that there is steps? It also happens when a certain colours changes brightness. It appears to be most prominent in the out of focus areas. Any comments appreciated, i've tried a few different types of paper, but to no avail. Thanks, Paul Jones - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Please suggest either the A70-210 f4 or the M80-200 f4.5 zoom
Thanks Allan I would like to mention that I already have the M zoom but it had fungus in it and I had it cleaned. I`ve done some test rolls with it and it appears to be as good as new but I would like another one as a back up. The M zoom is a slightly warm lens which I like. Right now since the M zoom appears to be fine however I`d like another one in that range and I like one touch zooms especially for manual focus. I`d like to know the optics between the two zooms like the A70-210 and the M80-200. Maybe I should just get the A zoom with the extra features that you mentioned but I have a certain fondness for my M zoom. I had it for about 15 years.

Re: Happy holidays
> Hope you're all enjoying your holidays.
Rather more than I expected to, actually.
Nothing Pentax under the tree, but my youngest brother did give
me a monopod! Oooh, this puppy is gonna be _useful!_.
Had dinner at the home of my middle brother's in-laws, along with
a large number of their other friends and relatives; they're itching
to see the photos I took at my brother's wedding (the BW are developed
but I've only got contacts; the colour is still in the freezer; _one_
BW print (group photo w/bridesmaids & groomsmen in IR) is printed 8x10
(thanks, TV!) and it got _great_ reactions). A couple people peered
at the contacts and said they liked what they saw. The father said
he wished he'd had me shoot the wedding instead of the fellow they
hired -- thing is, I wasn't trying very hard 'cause I figured the
photography was basically covered and I didn't want to duplicate his
work (other than shooting over his shoulder for the posed shots using
IR -- but that's a different enough look to not be just duplicating
his work). The father also wants one of my colour IR shots of the
Maryland Renaissance Festival -- he was looking at an 8x10 and saying,
"I want to blow this up". While I was showing him my photos, my mom
wandered over and asked whether I was annoying him. "Glenn thinks
he's a photographer," she said, "You should see Maria's photos."
(Maria is my sister.) *gr*(The fact that Maria wasn't
there was a good thing for other reasons...)
OTOH, my mother did really like the pin I made for her (the shape
of Cyprus (her birthplace) cut out of brass, with the name in Greek
("Kypros" but in Greek letters, of course) engraved in the middle
and filled with blue ink, so I did get something other than
negativity from her. (But she did have to tack on "and master of
none" to someone else's "Jack of all trades" comment upon hearing
that I'm a programmer/analyst, photographer, and musician. I may
not be as good a photographer as I'd like to be yet, but it was
certainly uncalled for regarding the other two. *sigh*)
Oh bother! I saw a shot for the "Reflections" PUG (August 2002)
but couldn't get it at the time -- I made a note to get it later
when people had moved, but never did. Argh.
So anyhow, on the whole I had a good time, got a piece of photo
equipment I've needed for a while, got praise for my photos,
shot a few frames, and was fed. Mom wasn't as negative as she
could've been. I guess the loss of one of my Christmas-ornament
earrings (broken accidentally by my brother's mother-in-law) was
a small price to pay for the evening's fun. (Fortunately, it was
an inexpensive earring. She felt bad about it though.)
Hope everyone else's holiday (well, for the folks who celebrate
it) was at least as good as mine.
-- Glenn

Re: Photoshop cursors (was: Re: PhotoShop, Wellington, Costa Rica)
There is a clever work-around for the disappearing cursor, at least in Photoshop 6. Problem: If the base image is at the RGB value 127,127,127, then the cursor (which is also the same RGB value) becomes invisible. This happens only at or near certain RGB values - at other background colors, the cursor can be seen because its gray color contrasts with the image, or because it changes to a white or black color which contrasts with the image. So given that a background image of a certain gray color makes the cursor "invisible", despite Photoshop's best efforts to make the cursor visible against all backgrounds, what is one to do? Solution: (1) change the image to a different color that allows the cursor to be seen, (2) make the rubber stamp changes, then (3) delete the color change made in step one, while retaining the image changes in step two. Method: Enable Non-Linear History Change Output Levels Make Rubber Stamp corrections Cancel the Change Output Levels operation First, go to the History palette, click on the little arrow to get to History Options, and check "Enable Non-Linear History". This sets the stage for what is to follow. Next, open the image in question. No need to select anything - you want to make this first change to the whole image. Go to Image > Adjust > Levels and change the Output Levels from zero to some other value that gets the area to be rubber stamped out of the offending 127,127,127 gray color. Say, change Output Levels from zero to 75. Then the cursor will be visible, because the colors of the whole picture will have changed. Go ahead and make the Rubber Stamp corrections desired. Ignore the fact that the whole image looks crappy - you'll get it looking right in a minute. Just make the Rubber Stamp changes and trust they will revert to the correct colors in a minute. After finishing the rubber stamping, go to the History Palette. Select the one line where the Output Levels was changed, and drag it to the little trash can at the lower right part of the palette. This eliminates only that one Output Levels change. Result: So now you are back at the original image, with the rubber stamp corrections made, and the Output Levels change (which allowed the cursor to become visible) has been deleted as if it never happened. The net result is that Output Levels of the image was changed to allow the cursor to be visible, then that Output Levels operation was canceled as if it never happened. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

You're correct that the light in a typical landscape isn't coming from underneath the scene or from the camera position, But that doesn't mean you shouldn'tmeasure the light that's coming from behind the camera. In most photographs, the planes that are revealed to the camera comprise the majorit of the frame. So, yes, in that case, use the incident meter and point it at the camera. The sufaces that are facing the lens will be properly exposed. If, on the other hand, 'you are concerned about the exposure value orf a surface that is facing the sky, you'd want to use your spotmeter. Consider, for example, a snowfield that reflects a bright, sunlit sky. The light coming from the direction of the lens might be insiginificant in comparison to the light that is illuminating the snowfiield from above. In that case, you'd want to measure the value of the snow with a spotmeter, consider that you'want your exposure two stops brighter than medium gray, and expose the film two stops more than the spotmeter reading on the snow field. I understand your reluctance in dealing with the bulk of the Spotmeter V. I own one as well. And I take it when I know I'm going to be dealing with a difficult lighting situation. For flat, behind the cam,era lighting of most scenes you'll do fine with the incident meter. However, you should take the Spotmeter V with you and satisfy your own curiosity. I think you'll find that when shooting an evenly lighted scene, you'll be able to point the spotmeter at a moderately reflective object ( a medium green, light brown,, medium red, or a grey) amd get a reading identical to that of the incident meter. However, in other situations, the difference between a properly obtained spotmeter reading and the incident meter reading could be several f stops.

Re: Epson Stylus C80 --- Opinions?
I'd give the Kodak paper a try, Steve. Carlos apparently had good luck with it, and it was excelent on my Epson 1200, a little bitter in fact than the Epson Pro Glossy. You are using a different ink system, but give it a try since you have it. I'm quite sure it will prove better than the HP paper.

Re: metering landscapes (spot / incident)
Thanks to all. I really would like to take my Pentax V spotmeter along, but it's s big and heavy and won't fit in a pocket. Perhaps if somebody sells me an Pentax Digital Spotmeter ;-))) ? I am IMHO proficient in the use of spotmeter (although it's not colour calibrated by Zone IV or other source), but for B&W film, I wouldn't take any meter at all and trust my mind (as it's most fun, and now with experience works quite well). But I will be shooting chromes, and there I thought a meter would be better. Anyway, I will use the 6 degree "spotmeter" built-in in my rangefinder camera to guess and fine the exposure, and maybe use the reflective mode of the incident meter. 2) question - you all told me to use dome and point it AT camera. But that's for faces and such things, but landscapes are flat - there is not light from underneath like in 3D objects like faces - so wouldn't it be better to use the flat diffuser or dome but parallel to the landscape? '3) Perhaps I will just take the spotmeter and cope withj the bulk :) Yes, I probably will. but out of curiosity, what about above #2 ? thanks a lot Frantisek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Try the HP - it won't hurt the printer at all. Let me know how it works out as I have some left over, too, but I haven't tried it yet.

Hi Paul, I`ll have to get some of that Ilford paper.

PENTAX Spotmatics and ME light seal material
Just thought I would pass this on for anyone interested. On visiting a new Richmond dollar store yesterday, I found what appears to be an ideal material for replacing the door seals on my PENTAX Spotmatics and ME 's. I went to find some coloured felt for my daughter, and saw sheets of 2mm black foam. The sheets are slightly larger than letter size and 2 for a 1$(CDN). If anyone is interested, I could buy some more and mail it to them. I replaced the seals on all our pentax cameras last night, so the light leakage problem should be a thing of the past.

Re: Epson Stylus C80 --- Opinions?
Hi Steve, Ilford Fine Art Paper looks like watercolor paper. It's thick, textured, and it leans toward the ivory. Prints are brilliant, rich, and deep. I don't think there's anything out there that compares. It's snowing and cloudy in Michigan today, which is nice for Christmas but not great for photography. However, I did shoot a roll of Fuji ISO 400 transparency film indoors with my 400T flash bouncing off the ceiling. (I had only the LX cord for the strobe with it's two extra connectors, but I did have a pc extension cord. So I was able to plug the 400T cable into the extension cord. Then, of course, I could plug the extension cord into the 6x7. I mounted the flash on a big stroboframe. It's quite a workout with all that equipment, probably close to a 15 pound rig, but the stroboframe has a solid grip, and it all feels pretty secure. Of course none of the five people I support will let me take their picture, but I do have two dogs. They have to pose whether they like it or not. So I shot a roll of dog pictures. Everything seems to work nice. The camera is easy to focus even in dim room lighting. I'll bring the film to the two-hour pro lab tomorrow and see what I have. But I'm liking it so far.

Re: Epson Stylus C80 --- Opinions?
Paul, the Ilford Fine Art paper, is that a glossy mat? Thanks for your help. Is the 6X7 getting a workout yet?
