RE: Your opinion is ...
I think it's a good idea, but not quite there yet. Worth pursuing though. It reminds me somewhat of a photo by Steichen of a bunch of roses which are blown. This attempt has fallen between two stools, I think. There is too much of the bunch below the flowers, or not enough of the bunch, depending on which way you take it. I would try filling the frame with the flowers, perhaps losing those sprays on the right, or pulling right back and showing the whole thing. http://tinyurl.com/2v4d6c http://www.photogravure.com/collection/searchResults.php?page=1artist =Steichen,%20Edwardview=smallindividual=277 -- Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Collin R Brendemuehl Sent: 22 March 2007 01:23 To: PDML@pdml.net Subject: Your opinion is ...

Should i have set it for Adobe rgb or in this case,as i has assigned srgb, i should have stated that. But for some reason, i think i didi at one point. Not sure, i';, at work right now. I cannt seem to see the box to turn off colour management in the print box. I'll have anotherlook tonight. So basically i should have -let PS manage colour -Set the paper to glossy inkjet(or preimium glsooy, i;ll buy some today) -Find no colour managment box some were an turn off. print. Sound right.

Re: Help with identifying these pro films
Does anyone have an opinion on the Kodak Ektapress 100/400 (I can infer that it is a PJ film)? Is the Ektrapress 1600 and Multispeed any good? Must be awfully old by now since they were replaced by the first generation of Supra many Photokinas ago. The 100/400 might still be useable if it has been refridgerated. I'd test a roll of the 1600 before doing anything important with it. The Multispeed was an ordinary 800 colour neg film, IIRC. On a more general note, there has been a lot of technical development in the meantime and those films are really grainy by today's standards. Ralf Thanks. Yes I will definitely shoot a test roll of everything. I got so much film that I had to plug in my fridge in the basement. The freezer compartment is completely stuffed with film. I kinda suspect the 1600 speed film isn't useable.

RE: PESO - Windmills of the Mind
Hi, The Dutch Windmill (as it's affectionately called) was built in 1902 and was designed to pump irrigation water to a nearby reservoir. The windmill had fallen into disrepair until funds were raised and it was restored in 1981. No longer needed for irrigation, the windmill stands as a remembrance of the past. Seems to be a similar story where you are. When I first saw it, in 1967, not only was I surprised but a little saddened as well to see that it was in such a poor state. I remember having walked several miles through the park (Golden Gate Park) to get the windmill, and was pretty tired, so I took a nap amongst the tulips. Shel [Original Message] From: Henk Terhell Thanks. That looks like a Dutch windmill, but appears newly built. The windmills here are old and many got in a poor state because maintenance is expensive. Now the government is subsidizing maintenance. That reminds me I have to make some pictures of the windmills in my area. Nice.

Re: OT Printing wows with the 2400
I have to agree with Godders. I used ColorSynch for quite a while, but after reading Godfrey's post about color managed workflow, I switched to that method. It does provide better results, particularly when printing BW. The Epson paper profiles are very refined. I had some problems getting started, but if I had read the relevant parts of the Epson manual, it would have been much easier.

Set the printer color management to No Color Adjustment. When Print with Preview in Photoshop, select Let Photoshop Manage Colors in the dialog that comes up, and select the color profile that matches your printer and paper type. After you click Print in the dialog in Photoshop, select No Color Adjustment in the printer dialog. Make sure it is set for the resolution and paper type that you want. There should be a way of saving the settings as a preset. I don't remember exactly how, and I think it varies depending on which Epson printer/driver you have. If Dave is printing from the Mac, then everything should be set for ColorSync. If the printer is set to take care of color adjustment, then it will conflict with the other ColorSync instructions. Cotty, That's one methodology. I've tested with it, but find I get my best results from using the color managed workflow that Mat articulated with specific printer/ink/paper profiles, either in Photoshop CS2 or Lightroom.

PESO: Grebe in need of a hair-styling
This fellow was hunting for fish today, and after emerging from a long dive he was more or less caught by the strong wind: http://www.dfsee.com/gallery/index.php?id=209 Taken with the A* 300mm f/2.8 plus 1.7 AF converter on K10D.

another monopod .. (was: Re: Monopod and Sand - end of story)
Speaking of monopods, I was at the camera shop this morning and saw the Bogen / Manfrotto 3245 Automatic Monopod for the first time. This looks fantastic! The lower section is sealed at the bottom and a quarter-twist action to unlock/lock at the top for extension/ compression so it is very unlikely to let dirt in. The upper section's extension is controlled by a squeeze on its grip for unlock/ lock, which makes it very adjustable. The grip gives you something non-round and handy to hold onto as well. It has a full size 3/8 head stud on the top allowing fitment of either a simple swivel head like the Manfrotto 3229 or your choice in ball head for even more position flexibility. Only downside I see is that it's not particularly compact, about 26 long with the simple swivel head fitted, but I'm very tempted to order one. I need it to use with the DA50-200 ... I consider anything longer than about 135mm to be a little too long for my comfort without a support of some kind. BH Photo carries it for about $90.

Re: FA 24-90mm f/3.5-4.5
Kevin, my recommendation is Tamron 28-75/2.8 XR DI lens. I have it for my zoom walk around and really like it. Cheers.

Re: OT Printing wows with the 2400
Since I had this hanging about, I figured I'd repost it. Photoshop CS2 - Epson R2400 color managed workflow on Mac OS X (Windows interface details are slightly different for Page Setup and Print dialogs, but the methodology is identical.) First calibrate the monitor and set up Photoshop CS2's color settings: Using the Eye One Display 2 and iMatch software, I calibrate my monitor to 140 luminance, 5500K white point and gamma 1.8. Other settings work as well, but these give me a monitor appearance that looks like what I want. Then, in the Adobe Photoshop CS2 'Edit-Color Settings...' dialog, use the North American Prepress 2 set as a baseline. Customize that to use ProPhoto RGB for color and set the policies to convert embedded profiles to the working colorspace. Whenever you open an image file, either convert any embedded profile to the working colorspace or assign the working colorspace. ProPhoto RGB is bigger than all the other colorspaces so you can do this with zero loss. Then work on your image. Once image adjustment is completed, use Print with Preview to setup the print processing. In the dialog, be sure to press the More Options button to reach the extended toolset, and pick the Color Management tools from the popup menu. In the Options section, set Color Handling to Let Photoshop Determine Colors, pick the profile for your printer and the Epson paper you're using, set Rendering Intent to Relative Colormetric and leave Black Point Compensation checked. Click the Page Setup dialog and set the printer type and page size, orientation. Use the preview window and sizing to fit the picture to the paper per your desires. Once you've done that, click the Print button. This takes you out of Photoshop's control and into the control of the printer driver. In the Epson printer driver, first go to the Print Settings panel and select the media type (paper type), Advanced Color mode, and Best Photo quality. The next panel to look at is the Color Management panel: here you want to set color management to OFF (remember that you told Photoshop that it was going to do the color management). Once done with that, press the Print button. Assuming that your monitor calibration is good and the printer-ink- paper profile is good, you should get a print that looks very much like what you see on the screen. With the R2400, the profiles for Epson Enhanced Matte, Epson Premium Glossy, Epson Premium Luster, and Epson Velvet Fine Art are very very good.

Re: PESO: One that got accepted
Does Pentax really think they are going to appreciably increase sales of their products by having a web gallery of images? What they need to do is sink 50 million dollars into eye-catching, innovative, intelligent, 30 second advertisements on television during prime time viewing (here in the USA).

Well, there are other lenses, including the legacy lenses, plus features that the Pentax offers, like SR, that may not be available on other cameras. Shel [Original Message] From: Thibouille ** About the DA 35 Limited under Tokina brand: According to Ken (actually according to the information Ken got from his contact), Tokina may indeed market its version of this lens. So Limited may be present for other mounts but this looks more like an exception.

Re: PESO: Not Quite Sprung
Hi Tom, Thanks. And thanks for the input. I fixed the vertical line. It was an artifact I created when I rotated the image and cloned the corners back in. What you see as sensor dust is merely bokeh I believe. But I'll check to make sure with an f22 sky shot. Paul On Mar 22, 2007, at 1:49 PM, Tom C wrote: I like it.
