Re: [pinhole-discussion] my first photo
I use photoshop too. Photoshop is designed to be a pre-press tool, allowing one to manipulate an image file with the assumption that the image is going to end up in print finally - though this isn't often the case. Gimp is designed primarily as a tool to manipulate images that live on computers - though I get better print quality from Gimp than from Photoshop on my cheap printer Gimp does support scripting - the ability to repeated operations over and over automatically - from a script. I don't think photoshop can do that. There are also newer versions of gimp that work at a greater color depth Gord On Mon, 15 Apr 2002, George L Smyth wrote: --- Gordon J.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] my first photo
- Original Message - From: Matti Koskinen mjkos...@koti.soon.fi I have Corel PhotoPaint) I use only Linux and Gimp, win98 crashes almost every time I try to scan. You're doing the plugging but not the praying, obviously. Remember W98 is plug and PRAY! I placed a #0 filter behind my camera and took photos. They're still drying, but looks like they are really much better with tonality than without the filter. Filter kit I have is Ilford Multigrade. The tests I made showed that in a clear sunshine without filter 30 sec. was enough but using filter 2 mins. had to be exposed. Any reason for this long exposure? The guide in the filter box says that when enlargening using #0 filter has no effect in exposure time. 2 reasons: -Those filters are made to filter tungsten light and you are using them to filter daylight. That may account for the increased time. -Since the use of the filter increases the uncorrected exposure time, reciprocity corrections become a bit drastic and increases the reciprocity corrected time even more. My camera is 4x5 from an article of Popular Woodwork, searching the web gave this link, but I printed the article so I don't have the url anymore. Focal length is 120 mm.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] my first photo
thanks. Yes, I used Gimp curves to change contrast. One thing is my scanner isn't really a hi-end one and that causes even more problems to contrast and tonality. As my win98 is mainly for my kids to play (though I have Corel PhotoPaint) I use only Linux and Gimp, win98 crashes almost every time I try to scan. I placed a #0 filter behind my camera and took photos. They're still drying, but looks like they are really much better with tonality than without the filter. Filter kit I have is Ilford Multigrade.

Some snow can still be seen, though it has been 15 degrees centigrade temperatures lately here. Exposure time was 8 mins and negative Kodak Polymax II RC. Developer was diluted Neutol, but still Gimp curves had to be used. Moving to hi-speed film instead of paper has the advantage of shorter exposure times, my son was getting bored during this eight minute shot :-) -matti mjkos...@koti.soon.fi ___ Post to the list as PLAIN TEXT only - no HTML Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.???/discussion/
