Re: ICC Paper Profiles
- Original Message - From: Godfrey DiGiorgi godd...@mac.com What instructions did the paper vendor supply for use with these papers? Well, Brilliant supplied a 6 page direction sheet, which I'll spare you, Godfrey :-)--and I will go over it again, but often times I find these profiles are written for Photoshop specifically. I was told that I could use them in Lightroom, but even when told that, I quietly didn't believe it. I mean, I'm proceeding on the assumption that an ICC profile is written for a specific printer, paper type, processing software. Am I wrong? Don't hesitate to say so :-). There's always the possibility that the profiles are bad too. Yes, I've heard this too--have you ever purchased custom made ICC profiles? If so, who did you use? Profiles usually give more accurate and more consistent results, but that depends on how good they are and how they're used. I had horrible results with one or another Hahnemühle paper profiles until I read through the instructions in detail and found they were designed to be used with the printer driver set up completely differently than I expected it ought to be. I am very eager to try Hahnemuhle--I'll be sure to read the directions :-) Cheers, Christine -- 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.

Energizer AA Lithium
Last summer I put four Energizer AA lithium cells into the *ist D. I used it all summer, carried it to Munich in August where I took 832 pictures (RAW). Why so few? Because it was raining all the time. I've been using the camera on and off since then. Both with lenses (some autofcous) and on the microscope. The battery indicator still reads full. I don't actually know how many pictures I've taken, but I'm sure it's more than 1000. I used the flash on several occasions as well. Now we're going to Helsinki for Xmas and I'm charging up a few sets up NiMH just in case. It would seem the figures in the Pentax manual are conservative?

Re: White K2000 pics
Sorry, John. I never intended to take you seriously. Apologies for launching you into an argument where you thought I did. And speaking of missing points, I think you refused to consider mine. More seriously, though, if you cling to a 20 year old Z-1p as your ideal camera, I do not understand why you don't go buy yourself a 2nd hand FA* 300/2.8. They are mighty good lenses by any measurement, they are optimised for film use instead of this newfangled digital stuff, and pop up on eBay more than once a year. Jostein 2008/12/21 John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com: From: AlunFoto 008/12/19 John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com: I don't want to switch brands, but if Pentax continues on the course they're presently on, I may not have a choice. If it does turn out that way, I ain't going quietly. You know, What I really don't understand is why K?ningsegg can not make me a truck when I want one, and why Budweiser never can come up with a decent beer. So far I've gone quietly about this, but following your advice, I think I shall join the relevant forums and tell the world how those companies _should_ have done their business. Thanks for the inspiration. You're welcome, although I think you still miss the point. AFAIK, K?ningsegg has never manufactured trucks, any more than Budweiser has ever manufactured decent beer. Pentax, OTOH, has a history to live up to. And, if this isn't a relevant forum to discuss the shortcomings of Pentax's current offerings, there is none. I'll let this be my last comment on the subject. I think Pentax is pursuing a course that will not increase their market share, nor contribute to their long term viability. If Pentax continues on the course they're on, a year or two years from now Pentax won't be in the camera business. I hope I'm wrong. But ... Who on this list is going to buy a white K2000?

Re: ICC Paper Profiles
I dunno, I've found Vista to be significantly better than XP, provided you do 3 things: 1. A clean install. Upgrading doesn't work, and results in a system with all the stability of Windows Me. 2. Have fully supported hardware. Vista is picky about drivers (but supported drivers are far less flaky than XP drivers) 3. Turn off useless services. Vista, particularly with early installers, runs a lot of crap you don't need. Turn it off. The other thing people forget about vista is that it uses RAM very differently than XP. Vista will keep everything it can in System Memory, which means huge memory footprints under light load. XP will swap everything not in current use to disk, which means light emmory footprints and massive delays when swapping back in. -Adam Who'se had 3 Vista systems so far, and is very pleased with them (one went back to XP solely due to support issues with some 3rd party software I need).

On Dec 21, 2008, at 12:00 AM, Christine Aguila wrote: What instructions did the paper vendor supply for use with these papers? Well, Brilliant supplied a 6 page direction sheet, which I'll spare you, Godfrey :-)--and I will go over it again, but often times I find these profiles are written for Photoshop specifically. I was told that I could use them in Lightroom, but even when told that, I quietly didn't believe it. I mean, I'm proceeding on the assumption that an ICC profile is written for a specific printer, paper type, processing software. Am I wrong? Don't hesitate to say so :-). An ICC profile presents a transform from Lab color space to a particular printer, paper and inkset color space, given the appropriate rendering intent and particular printer driver/hardware setup. The documentation usually uses an application to implement those specific configuration requirements, and that is usually Photoshop, but as long as you can make the configuration requirements in the printer as needed the application used to do it is arbitrary. There's always the possibility that the profiles are bad too. Yes, I've heard this too--have you ever purchased custom made ICC profiles? If so, who did you use? I've had a couple of color profiles done for me, once upon a time, by a friend out in Minneapolis. He works for a company which does this work, but I don't recall the name of the company off hand. Most of the time, I just used the profiles provided by the paper vendors. Profiles usually give more accurate and more consistent results, but that depends on how good they are and how they're used. I had horrible results with one or another Hahnemühle paper profiles until I read through the instructions in detail and found they were designed to be used with the printer driver set up completely differently than I expected it ought to be. I am very eager to try Hahnemuhle--I'll be sure to read the directions :-) Hahnemühle Photo Rag Smooth 308gsm is my favorite. It usually feeds well and has a beautiful warm tone, but it tends to cut sharpness just a little bit compared to Velvet Fine Art. I also tried their new Bamboo paper but it proves to be a very difficult paper for the R2400 to feed properly (tends to curl easily and is quite thick).

Re: ICC Paper Profiles
... really, really, hoping this thread remains unknown where I work... Vista is not that bad - was released way before time, so it's just now coming to where it was aimed. Problem is, by now it's widely tagged as unreliable (wrong hardware+ early release) and slow (again, wrong hardware). Add Linux and Microsoft's own conflicts about when we're getting it's replacement, many corporations are just sticking to XP or worse, returning to XP. Not that I'm sad about the increase in workload, but there was a lot of stress around here. Microsoft's own tech support is still owing me some fixes, not knowing the client dumped Vista after the first month of suffering. Tuning is not everything, but makes a lot o difference. XP is rather easy to fine tune (now, after many fixes) so we usually spend more time tweaking Vista - some extra 35mm film at the end of the month. I do advise (whenever I'm asked) to choose XP over Vista, or give Linux a try. Software cost is a rather touchy issue, sometimes.

Re: ICC Paper Profiles
Have you tried printing from Print with Preview in Photoshop? I find that it works better with profiles than other programs. Also, make sure to turn color controls OFF (under Color Handling: slect No color management), do that AGAIN under the print dialog boxes when selecting paper size, oreintation, etc. The only other suggestion I have is not to use generic paper profiles, even one supplied by paper manufacturers. In my experience, they're never as good a creating your own. ColorVision makes a spectrocolorimeter to read color swatches printed on the paper you're creating the profile for. It works works much better than any manufacturer files I've tried. However, there are tricks to doing this correctly, as well. It took many, many emails back and forth to colorVision to finally establish a working, consistant procedure (at least for some of the Epson papers I use). -B --- Christine Aguila cagu...@earthlink.net wrote: Hi Everyone: Well, I'm stumped: I have correctly downloaded and installed some ICC paper profiles from Brilliant Museum (matte satin white) MOAB (white satin).

Vista is not that bad - was released way before time, so it's just now coming to where it was aimed. Problem is, by now it's widely tagged as unreliable (wrong hardware+ early release) and slow (again, wrong hardware). We bought a Vista machine late last summer to replace my XP machine for image editing at the studio. It should be designed for Vista, as it is a high end OTS box. It has an AMD quad core processor and 3 gb of RAM, two hard drives and runs about half as fast as my two year old (also OTS) XP box with one HD when running actions on bulk files. I've turned off pretty much everything I can turn off, including the horrid graphics package that is Aero to no avail. What is really irksome is that I cannot (nor can our hired gun technician) get the damned thing to allow full two way networking. I can pull files off of it, and I can import files to it if I am sitting in front of it, but I can't put files onto it from any other computer on the network. two Thousand and bloody eight, and we are having to run files back and forth on memory cards because the computers aboslutely refuse to let us dump files from one machine to another because the OS seems to think it's hard drives are sacramental.

The roads were always plowed to a couple of inches of packed powder. But it was hilly, so you tried to never slow down. If someone was stuck on a hill in front of you, you floored it and went around. Probably an old lady! Driving in Canada later in life, whilst attending Montana State College, on my way to Banff/Lake Louise, I had a chance to practice the technique of when you saw the road curving one way or the other, and you were going 70 mph, you cranked in a skid slightly in that direction 1/4 mile before you got there, stayed on the gas, and slid through it with no problem. Roads were always 2 inches of ice. Only once was I surprised by a quickly decreasing radius turn, and ended up sliding backwards thru some cemetery gates backwards (they were open), coming to rest a few feet short of a large granite monument. Instantly four guys got out of the, took a piss and crossed themselves. But not me. I'm not a Catholic! :-) Seattle is currently paralyzed by around 6 of snow. 24 hour news coverage.

Re: ICC Paper Profiles
No, it's not the white point setting. And I do calibrate my monitor often. Every monitor/printer is different. A generic printer profile created on another system won't necessarily translate to another system. That's why it's best to create your own profiles, using your own printer and and it's unique color gamut. This way, you're calibrating the profile to YOUR printer and ITS ink set which may be very different from the values used in creating the generic profile. Also, you'll never get that close to an exact match between a monitor and a printed image since the two are only fascimiles of the other. An image on a monitor is created with millions of colors. On my Epson 4800, it's created with 8 colors. The ICC profile is only there to best approximate the translation into shades of ink drops. In my experience, it's best to use a profile created both on the paper I want to profile which is also printed from the printer that is used to create the final image. Variations can actually occur just by scanning the color swatches with or without an add'l blank piece of paper placed underneath the sampling color target. Variations also occur when the image isn't fully dry. The other nice thing about custom profiles is that the software allows you to tweak already existing profiles to change individual color values and other settings. Then, you can save these settings as a totally new profile for specific prints or a series of prints. -Brendan --- PN Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: That could well be a function of the white point setting on your monitor or another calibration variable.

Re: ICC Paper Profiles
That makes sense. Fortunately, the Epson profiles seem to be right in synch with my system. But I'll keep this in mind in case I want to use other papers. I use to use Hannemuhle William Turner Rag quite a bit, but the available profiles are iffy. But Im equally happy with Epson Velvet Fine Art, which dials in precisely. And it doesn't chip as easily as the Hannemuhle sheet. Paul On Dec 21, 2008, at 3:03 PM, Brendan MacRae wrote: No, it's not the white point setting. And I do calibrate my monitor often. Every monitor/printer is different. A generic printer profile created on another system won't necessarily translate to another system. That's why it's best to create your own profiles, using your own printer and and it's unique color gamut. This way, you're calibrating the profile to YOUR printer and ITS ink set which may be very different from the values used in creating the generic profile. Also, you'll never get that close to an exact match between a monitor and a printed image since the two are only fascimiles of the other. An image on a monitor is created with millions of colors. On my Epson 4800, it's created with 8 colors. The ICC profile is only there to best approximate the translation into shades of ink drops. In my experience, it's best to use a profile created both on the paper I want to profile which is also printed from the printer that is used to create the final image. Variations can actually occur just by scanning the color swatches with or without an add'l blank piece of paper placed underneath the sampling color target. Variations also occur when the image isn't fully dry. The other nice thing about custom profiles is that the software allows you to tweak already existing profiles to change individual color values and other settings. Then, you can save these settings as a totally new profile for specific prints or a series of prints. -Brendan --- PN Stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: That could well be a function of the white point setting on your monitor or another calibration variable. My iMac 24 monitor is set to native white point, and it's calibrated every couple of weeks.

When we had 2 feet of snow it meant you skipped school (never closed) and headed for New Hampshire or Vermont to get some ski time in. The roads were always plowed to a couple of inches of packed powder. But it was hilly, so you tried to never slow down. If someone was stuck on a hill in front of you, you floored it and went around. Probably an old lady! Driving in Canada later in life, whilst attending Montana State College, on my way to Banff/Lake Louise, I had a chance to practice the technique of when you saw the road curving one way or the other, and you were going 70 mph, you cranked in a skid slightly in that direction 1/4 mile before you got there, stayed on the gas, and slid through it with no problem. Roads were always 2 inches of ice. Only once was I surprised by a quickly decreasing radius turn, and ended up sliding backwards thru some cemetery gates backwards (they were open), coming to rest a few feet short of a large granite monument.
