Someone gave me an  upscaling Action for Photoshop 7 that worked by 
resizing +3% using  bi-cubic sharper, then resizing another +3% using 
bi-cubic  smoother.

It began by prompting you to input a number for how many  repetitions you 
wanted it to do.

It would take about 7 repetitions to  increase size to 150%, and 12 
repetitions to double the size.

It  seemed to give quite good results.



Thanks.  Interesting using the bi-cubic sharpener on the last.

I've run all my printers out of ink all the time  have  never had an issue.

BTW - the out of ink indications are not very  accurate on my 3 printers - 
they will continue printing for quite awhile  after I get the indication of 
out of ink.


Ditto. I  tend to run it until that color doesn't print. The estimate isn't 
all that  accurate. And I hate being intimidated by a dumb printer -- I am 
almost out of  ink, put another cartridge in NOW!, spend more money, hurry, 
hurry, spend,  spend!.

Re: OT - When is the cartridge empty in Epson printer?

2009-08-15 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
Print until a color stops printing ... otherwise you can be throwing
away up to 10% of your ink. At $5000-6000 per gallon, I am very
miserly about it.

The strategy I take when it comes to my R2400 and the flashing lights
is that when the warning starts flashing, I check the status and see
what the approximate state of all the tanks is. I start watching the
report of the printer has enough ink to pring X number of prints like
the last one. I make sure I have a replacement tank handy for the one
already flashing plus any others that look to be close ... if when it
stops printing, one or two others are flashing AND another one or two
look very close, I *might* change 'em all out as the purge and cycle
after installing a new cart will often take the ones that are *almost*
flashing and suck them near dry, which will waste more ink on the
purge and cycle when I replace those half an hour later.

I always stock up on inks for a basic inventory of three cartridges in
each color, and reorder when I only have one spare in any color left.
This way I'm never in a situation where I run out in the middle of a
printing job and then have to break my concentration, run to a local
store, and pay 20% more to get done with my job.

2009-08-15 Thread Joseph McAllister
Knowing that the inks cost the consumer the aforementioned $5000 to  
$8000 per gallon, and it costs the printer manufacturers probably less  
than $10 a gallon to make, these printers are designed to use as much  
ink as possible in as wasteful ways as possible.


It would be very simple firmware-wise to clean the head only on the  
ink cartridge(s) just replaced, but where would be the profit in that?


If I printed more than a few prints per month, I'd have external tank  
system on at least my R1800. And I'd get rid of my other three  
printers if that were the case. I only keep them around (and have to  
print on each one at least once a week to prevent clogging) because  
their inks are less expensive than those of the R1800 (which I have to  
print on at least every week to prevent IT from clogging).

Ink costs get more reasonable the more you pay for the printer. R2400
carts cost a buck or two more than R3x0 carts yet contain about 5
times as much ink (~11ml vs ~2ml). The Stylus Pro printers take 110ml
or 220 ml carts that cost around $80 and $100 respectively. One of the
main reasons I grabbed my R2400 when I did was for more reasonable ink
costs.

CIS ink systems are a big win for ink costs, but can cause more
clogging issues and require custom profiles on a per paper basis for
accurate colour (you can use stock profiles with the Epson inks). I'd
look strongly at a 4880 before I'd get a CIS ink system since the
latter really requires a higher print volume than even the R2400 is
really intended for.

The strategy I take when it comes to my R2400 and the flashing lights

the last one. I make sure I have a replacement tank handy for the one


Interesting... My R2880 doesn't provide this type of diagnostics.


It varies among the 3 Epsons I have.




already flashing plus any others that look to be close ... if when it
stops printing, one or two others are flashing AND another one or two
look very close, I *might* change 'em all out as the purge and cycle
after installing a new cart will often take the ones that are *almost*
flashing and suck them near dry, which will waste more ink on the
purge and cycle when I replace those half an hour later.


So, does the printer purge _all_ of them when you replace only one?
I.e. it doesn't recognize which ones you've replaced, assuming it
was done to all of them. Correct?


On mine, all the other cartridges are used during the purge cycle, thats 
part of the purging cycle - frequently running the purge will use enought of 
the other cartridges ink to cause the printer to tell me they are now low.

a hard time staying within the boxes do so

(3) the paper quality was mediocre - thinner by a lot than the cafe

I'm sure they all hit different spots on the quick and easy spectrum, 
but a lot of the photo organizer software has templates or projects for 
that.  For example, Photoshop Elements 6 has such a thing, though I must

The 43mm (and the 77mm ltd too) are very nice for stitched panos. Both
AutoPano and in this case PS CS4 have no problems putting the stitches
neatly when using these lenses. I suspect it's because they have very
little distortion on the edges, and no vignetting. I have to be a bit
more careful with parallax issues with the 77, but it's not much of an
issue.

young people sleeping in their cars on the parking lot too; with
snowboards tucked under. My intention wasn't to make a wilderness
type of shot, with the ski-lift in the background and all. But it was
hard to include more of the parking lot and café without ending up
with a totally cluttered frame.

Re: OT - simple software for off-line calendar design

2009-08-15 Thread Igor Roshchin

Jostein,

I was going to say Yes!, but then I tried it.

It _almost_ does what I want.
The major shortcomings:
1. No whole-year-on-one-page option. (that's what I am looking
for as a first priority)

2. Despite the example on the website, I was not able to make the
image to be above the calendar, as supposed to being a background.
I guess this should be doable.

3. No landscape calendar (with the image being on the side of the
calendar) option.

 Hi All,

 Can somebody recommend any software (not online printing) that
 allows to design calendar pages on you local computer quickly
 and easily (similar to what Lulu does online?), giving an option
 to add particular dates, choose months to include, etc.
 I am talking about month-per-page and year-per-page calendars.

 Thank you in advance,

Rodeo Ballet, PasDeDeux with abrupt dismount

2009-08-15 Thread Morris Galloway
Hi! The Constant Lurker, Pentaxian since Honeywell  has gotten up 
courage to try a little post. 
Took in a small town rodeo last weekend. It was sponsored by a youth 
group (FFA for those in the 'States) and was an Open affair -- if you 
had the entry fee and were old enough, you could climb on the back of 
anything you wanted to.
The Boys and Men of the little town tried for two nights to ride the 
bulls. The bulls won every contest. Here is a rider. If anybody thinks 
these are any good, I'll post more.


Shot w/ K10D, 50-135 DA*, and a whomping big potato masher dialed down 
to 1/25th so it would recycle fast enough to stay up with the camera 
(And an external battery pack, of course.)

Hi Igor;
I had to do the same search last year as you are doing this year. I Googled 
calendar templates and did find one that was sufficiently usable for our 
purposes. The one I found was landscape type, but I don't recall where I 
found it. It was a freebie website that didn't give it up really easily.

and bull fighters get maimed.

It doesn't happen often enough for my liking.
Anyway, that's a really good series of action shots. I like 5C the best 
because it looks like the guy just might get trampled (though I expect he 
didn't; too bad).


It's good to see you posting, I've greatly enjoy your emails over the years.

What does Photoshop CS4 get me that Elements doesn't?

2009-08-15 Thread John Francis

I'm in the process of switching over to a new machine.  I was
planning to upgrade both Lightroom and Photoshop Elements to
the latest version, but Adobe just made the decision a little
trickier - I can upgrade from Elements to CS4 for only $299.

Assuming I stick with Lightroom (so the organizer part of CS4
isn't going to offer me a great deal, and I won't have any use
for Camera Ra)) what are the additional features of CS4 that I
might find useful?  Or should I just stick with Elements V7?

Re: OT - When is the cartridge empty in Epson printer?

2009-08-15 Thread Christine Aguila
I never change cartridges when I get the low ink warning.  I only change 
when a cartridge is completely empty, and I find I get quite a few prints 
under the flashing low ink warning.  Cheers, Christine

None that I can think of.

Huh? on my r220 it will give me tons of warnings with ! on a yellow 
triangle but if any one is totally empty according

to the little graphic that pops up the printer won't print at all...
LIke Godders, I always  try to stay one step ahead by having a whole set 
ready on the shelf...


But I definitely keep printing if it just says low-

Hi! The Constant Lurker, Pentaxian since Honeywell  has gotten up 
courage to try a little post. Took in a small town rodeo last weekend. It 
was sponsored by a youth group (FFA for those in the 'States) and was an 
Open affair -- if you had the entry fee and were old enough, you could 
climb on the back of anything you wanted to.
The Boys and Men of the little town tried for two nights to ride the 
bulls. The bulls won every contest. Here is a rider. If anybody thinks 
these are any good, I'll post more.


Shot w/ K10D, 50-135 DA*, and a whomping big potato masher dialed down to 
1/25th so it would recycle fast enough to stay up with the camera (And an 
external battery pack, of course.)

The moon  through an $8000 telescope, a blues jam, and a Welshman  
carving text  into slate.

I took a basic astronomy class, and one night the teacher  opened up  
the UofM observatory, and let me bolt my K100D to the 7  inch, f9   
telescope. We were both happy with the  results.

The Blues Jam were members of a local Blues Society- http://  
www.acousticblues.com/  And the Welsh Slate Carver was part of  this  
year's Smithsonian Institution's Folk Life Festival.

The  Blues Jam and Slate Carver were posted for the participants, so I   
posted a few images that otherwise might not have made the  cut.

Comments or  Criticisms?

Well, I didn't get how  all those things were related (from the title). And 
now that I lhave looked,  huh, I still don't. Heh. But that's about my only 
criticism. Heh. 

Nice  moon. And I really like the carving hands, especially the first one. 
Very nice  shot!

A little bit of  voyeurism.  The second day I had the K20D I stopped into

almost in  the desired plane of focus, sharp, the subject was moving a 
bit which may  have caused a bit of the softness in the image, and the

Wow, Boris, the first monument  shot took my breath away, then it was 
immediately followed by a great Lincoln  shot and a great Lincoln speech shot. 
Beautiful.

I'd drop the Washington  monument shot with the grass, the white sky kills 
it, but otherwise it's a very,  very nice gallery. Like the Vietnam wall 
shot too and the cross on the hill is  very moving.

Well done!
