Re: OT: Matting Framing
What ever happened to Dry Mount Presses? 15 years ago they were still too expensive for me to buy a used 20-24 model. Did they stop making the wax on both side paper they used? Did everyone throw away their tacking irons with the teflon coating? I know from experience that they are not permanent, though I still have the prints from my final exam show in 1970. Last time I looked at them, and many of the other prints I mounted in the late 60s and early 70s, few were starting to curl at the edges 40 years later. Anyone still use one?

I bought it rather inexpensively (within $10 for about 20x30 piece) at a local art-supply store. They are rather expensive via mail (and usually, you have to buy a pack of 10) I used to frame my own pictures but gave up in the end because it was fiddly and some materials were hard to find - especially the mouldings where I had to deal with warped seconds unless I wanted to buy about a mile of a single style. I'd have just about killed for foam board with a self-adhesive surface as long as it gave you plenty of working time before it set. But I've never even heard of the stuff until now. I just used standard foam core. I started out using photo-mounting dots sold by stationery stores but they didn't hold the print flat so you could see the waviness under certain lighting conditions. I'm too fussy to put up with that. I then tried acid-free glue but you could see where the lines of glue were and it started to set very quickly so any attempt to spread it resulted in a messy disaster. Eventually I found a product called Rollataq which has a hand-held roller where the handle is filled with glue. My local art supplies shop was able to order one for me. http://www.daige.com/rollataq.htm It's designed to spread the glue uniformly over the whole surface and you have a few minutes to get everything positioned before it starts to set. It worked very well and I had plenty of time to position the print. Once the print was in place I'd add the mat, run a soft roller over the print to deal with any air bubbles, then put the mat cutout over the photo to protect it. Then I'd put a sheet of MDF (particle board) over the top to keep everything flat while the glue sets. I don't know what the motorised version costs but it would definitely be better. The only trouble with this stuff is that you need to use it fairly regularly. If it dries out in the roller you have an epic cleanup job. BTW with the Rollataq device I always applied the glue to the foam board. If you glue right to the edge of the photo and the photo slips... you'll get glue on the front as some will have got onto the working surface. I should have experimented with leaving a margin. I might leave my glass cutting and dust busting adventures for another day :) Cheers, Dave -- 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.

PESO - PAD - Falling Leaves - Print-a-Day-25
This is number 25 in the series Print-a-Day for 30 Days. http://georges.posterous.com/falling-leaves-print-a-day-25 Yesterday was the hottest day of the summer and we are months away from falling leaves. I've always liked this photo because of the tree with colorful leaves and the bright blue sky showing through its bare neighbor. The 2012 version of the Lightroom 4 process engine pulled significantly more detail and color contrast from this image than the older version that was used when I shot the photo in 2008. (Actually, in 2008 I was using Adobe Camera Raw, but ACR and Lightroom share the same process module.) If you haven't revisited some of your favorite older photos with the new version of the software, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. I decreased the intensity of blue sky for the print version of this photo. One of the lessons learned from this 30 project is the screen is not capable of displaying all the blue tones that the printer is capable of printing. Boosting the sky to look great on the screen can lead to electric blue, unnatural skies in the print. gs George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.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.

They are not rose colored glasses though. Seriously though, proper viewing distance for hand-held objects is defined by the length of your arms or, more precisely, the length of your arms when bent at roughly 90° to lessen the strain of holding the object. That distance is about the same for everyone, and most will have sufficient mobility in their arms/hands to be able to make any small adjustments needed to compensate for their own differences from the average distance. The size of the object (photo, printed text, whatever) should vary to accommodate that average viewing distance - e.g., changes in text size. And the answer is 14-16 IIRC. stan -- 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.
Re: OT: Matting Framing
From: Joseph McAllister What ever happened to Dry Mount Presses? 15 years ago they were still too expensive for me to buy a used 20-24 model. Did they stop making the wax on both side paper they used? Did everyone throw away their tacking irons with the teflon coating? I know from experience that they are not permanent, though I still have the prints from my final exam show in 1970. Last time I looked at them, and many of the other prints I mounted in the late 60s and early 70s, few were starting to curl at the edges 40 years later. Anyone still use one? I still *have* one (20x24). I bought it second hand in 2005. And I have the mounting tissue in the refrigerator along with a bunch of film photo paper that I will probably never get to use. It's been over a year since I last used it. I had it set up in my apartment while I was at school, but my house is so full of clutter I don't have a place to set it up here. One problem with dry mounting is you have to be very careful use an *expensive* special Teflon coated release paper when dry mounting inkjet prints. While it's not cheaper for me to take prints to a frame shop to be mounted, frequently it's a lot more convenient than doing it myself. I enjoy cutting my own mats. I compromise by having the frame shop mount the prints and finish matting and framing them myself. Right now my problem is making a photograph I feel is worth framing. -- 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.

Re: PESO: The Manager
Thanks, Walt. Whatever one thought of Sparky back in the day, he always played with passion. He seems contented in his 14 year stint as a minor league manager, and so far as I can tell, hasn't left his butt impression on any birthday cakes here.

tethering Pentax DSLRs?
Hello all! I was considering a possibility of tethered shooting with a Pentax DSLR. From what I found, it looks like there are two options available: 1) *istD/*istDS with the Pentax Remote Assistant and 2) PK_Tether - http://www.pktether.com/ (read this brief review: http://www.gyes.eu/photo/reviews_tutorials/pk_tether.htm ) I saw that there was an effort to implement something into Lightroom, but I don't think that ever happened. I still have my *istDS, and so the first option might be viable with that (assuming I can dig out the software that came with it). Has anybody used any of these two programs? My two main questions are a) whether the photos can be seen on the computer screen in real time in Pentax Remote Assistant (I think, - yes...), and b) if these programs can work with the RAW formats (PEF/DNG), or require JPEG. I would appreciate ideas of other possibilities (e.g. programs, hacks, etc.) of how the photos from a P-DSLR can be displayed quickly on a computer screen (can you do that with Eye-Fi easily, without the need to open each file in a viewer program manually)?

Re: tethering Pentax DSLRs?
Great article, Bruce! Thank you! I might consider that option. One question, - if you know the answer: The description of the Pro version of the card says: Wireless RAW File Uploads: Edit Like a Pro The Eye-Fi Pro X2 not only wirelessly uploads JPEGs, but also RAW files. Whether you're a pro or not, now you can edit like one. You can even install watch folders to set Adobe's Lightroom or PhotoShop to automatically pull your RAW files and apply presets automatically. It's never been this easy to get your photos where you want them. Did you try to do that in LR? I wonder if that is done automagically, in real time, or it requires manual reloading in LR.

I would have wished the same but I had very few options as to where to place the bike and still get the skyline behind it. I don't have a kickstand (a kickstand on a road bike? shudder) so I had to find a place among the large rocks where I could prop a pedal to hold up the bike.

Just to the left of the frame is the pedestrian bridge that takes the lakefront bike path over the mouth of the Humber. It is the most picturesque part of a gorgeous ride into town.

Re: PESO - My Thursday Commute
I awoke at my usual time: 6am. What was unusual was that I didn't have my usual morning chores this morning so I decided to leave the house around 6:30 rather than the usual 8:15. I probably got to where I took the photo at about 7am. The sun had been up for well over an hour - probably and hour and a half. The sun was actually quite high when I got there but obscured by clouds nice enough to still show the skyline. I was surprised at the colours that late - again I guess it was those clouds...

I've always liked this photo because of the tree with colorful leaves and the bright blue sky showing through its bare neighbor. The 2012 version of the Lightroom 4 process engine pulled significantly more detail and color contrast from this image than the older version that was used when I shot the photo in 2008. (Actually, in 2008 I was using Adobe Camera Raw, but ACR and Lightroom share the same process module.) If you haven't revisited some of your favorite older photos with the new version of the software, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. I decreased the intensity of blue sky for the print version of this photo. One of the lessons learned from this 30 project is the screen is not capable of displaying all the blue tones that the printer is capable of printing. Boosting the sky to look great on the screen can lead to electric blue, unnatural skies in the print. gs George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.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. -- 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.

Re: tethering Pentax DSLRs?
Yes, Lr and Ps watch-folders do work. If wireless file transfer was closer to real-time (rather than completely unreal-time that it is), I'd even use them. But I only want to transfer ultra-low-rez JPEGs for viewing and then later discard them, so I don't want them leaking into my workflow anywhere. On Thu, Jun 28, 2012 at 6:35 PM, Igor Roshchin s...@komkon.org wrote: Great article, Bruce! Thank you! I might consider that option. One question, - if you know the answer: The description of the Pro version of the card says: Wireless RAW File Uploads: Edit Like a Pro The Eye-Fi Pro X2 not only wirelessly uploads JPEGs, but also RAW files. Whether you're a pro or not, now you can edit like one. You can even install watch folders to set Adobe's Lightroom or PhotoShop to automatically pull your RAW files and apply presets automatically. It's never been this easy to get your photos where you want them. Did you try to do that in LR? I wonder if that is done automagically, in real time, or it requires manual reloading in LR.
