RE: Southern Cross
I've spent quite a lot of time in the Southern Hemisphere, but have never really been able to pick out the Southern Cross, even when people have tried to point it out to me. It's quite an experience to look up at the stars in the wrong hemisphere and not recognise anything. I've often wondered how astrologists deal with this. Given that I was born in June in the Southern Hemisphere, am I a Gemini? What are the stones? Is that some sort of stone circle? If so, who built it and how long ago?

Re: R2400, OSX - prints too dark
Godders is the expert, and I'm sure he'll respond. But in the meantime I can tell you to check your color setting. It should be U.S. Prepress Defaults. The working space in this box should match that of your photo. Gray should be set to Dot Gain 20% as should Spot. In file/print with preview the source should be set to document and you should select the profile that corresponds to your paper. The Epson ICC profiles and corresponding papers yield the most consistent results. I like Epson Ultra Premium Luster and Epson Velvet Fine Art. Paul On May 12, 2008, at 9:31 AM, Ralf R.

Re: R2400, OSX - prints too dark
I use the Spider 2 and set the monitor to native white point and gamma 2.2. I think as long as you're consistent and keep the calibration up to date, the specific settings aren't critical. The correct workflow will get you a matching print regardless of the specifics. I use gamma 2.2 because that's what most of my ad agency and retoucher clients and collaborators run.

Another extensive Google research indicates that this problem has been experienced by many people. Various sources suggest reducing the ink density in the Epson driver by approx. 10 percent.

For those familiar with the Australian, and various other southern hemisphere nations, flags the Southern Cross constellation (officially known as Crux) is the crucifix pattern of stars featured on the right hand side of the .au flag (5 stars make up the constellation). It's the brightest constellation in the southern sky is easily seen even in the city.. If you aren't familiar with the pattern, or just can't see it, look about halfway between the horizon top of frame. Just left of centre you should see 4 trails that look a bit like a crucifix on its side (with the long edge pointing to the right). That's the Southern Cross. Anyway enough of the astronomy lesson.

That luminance setting is a little low unless you're running a laptop screen calibration. Aside from the luminance value being low, possibly the driver version or paper profile is off.

Now to explain the title (if it's already apparent to you, carry one with whatever else you have to do today :-). For those familiar with the Australian, and various other southern hemisphere nations, flags the Southern Cross constellation (officially known as Crux) is the crucifix pattern of stars featured on the right hand side of the .au flag (5 stars make up the constellation). It's the brightest constellation in the southern sky is easily seen even in the city.. If you aren't familiar with the pattern, or just can't see it, look about halfway between the horizon top of frame. Just left of centre you should see 4 trails that look a bit like a crucifix on its side (with the long edge pointing to the right). That's the Southern Cross. Anyway enough of the astronomy lesson.

K10D Repair Estimate
I received a repair estimate from Pentax Colorado for my K10D. I had told them that it backfocused severely with two DA* lenses, both of which work fine with my K20D. I also mentioned that it seemed stuck in multi-image mode, even when I switched it to single image. The estimate for repair of this out of warranty camera is $284 --$150 of that for parts. The estimate lists the repairs as follows: Repair or replacement of parts and assemblies as needed. Cleaning and calibration of all functions to ensure proper working order. Replacement and/or adjustment of electronic autofocus circuit including focus sendor (sensor or sender?). Calibrate for proper operation. I hope I get a perfect camera back. That's a pretty stiff repair bill.

Re: PESO: Wedding Tango
Charles Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2008/fiona_wedding/content/IMGP8431_large.html My daughter had scheduled (last August!) an outdoor wedding for the only day in the week on which it rained ALL DAY. We had a roof for the reception, but no walls. For the first dance she and her hubby danced to Tom Lehrer's Masochism Tango. It was great. I've played that tune for three wedding receptions now. The first time, the bride and groom said beforehand, We'd really love to have our first dance be 'The Masochism Tango', but we fear our parents would freak out at the words. (They'd planned to have a CD player handy anyhow for when the band took breaks.) I suggested, Why not just have us play it as an instrumental? Er ... one little flaw in that plan. Can you guess? The day of, we were situated in the choir loft with a great view of the dance floor and the tables. When it came time for the couple's first dance, we started up the tune (fiddle, guitar, bodhran, and viola da gamba -- only half the band for that gig), and the newlyweds began to dance. Many of the guests stood around watching, but we could see the confusion on their faces: Wait, I know this melody from somewhere, don't I? We could also watch the _recognition_ of the tune spread across the room like a freaking _wave_, in the changes of folks' facial expressions and body language. Then, near the end of the first verse, 80% of the guests started _singing_. The bride and groom stumbled, recovered, and finished the dance laughing. AFAIK, the parents didn't freak after all, though I think they did comment. The other two times, recognition was not a problem -- it was assumed that everyone would know the song (in one case it was announced ahead of time). Also, the other two times we had the whole band (or nearly so) there. I am of the probably-unsurprising opinion that it is a _lovely_ first-dance for a wedding reception. -- Glenn http://www.homespunceilidh.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
