I've been looking forward to getting PS E for awhile now. I think I'll be buying the Epson 2500 dpi scanner coming out in October, so I'll wait, since it is bundled. As for using other software, I have Corel Photopaint 8, which I find is easier for cloning than PS. Keep in mind, I am an absolute b

RE: filmscanners: Vuescan Blue's

I suggest that you have set Vuescan to "White Balance". It it taking the yellow of the sand (which I guess is the brightest part of the image) and "neutralising" it to look like a shade of grey (i.e. pure white in the bright spots). That's what the 0.1% white point is doing. Change Vuescan s

Re: filmscanners: film vs. digital cameras - wedding/commercial photography

There are a number of traditional reasons why MF films have been used in wedding and portrait photography. In the not so distant past, a lot of touch up work was done directly on the negs, and MF allowed for this more simply. Further the usually square format allowed for variable cropping, and

Well, we're getting really off topic here, but if you have any knowledge how Corbis operates with its photographers (which is a Bill Gates company) you would know that he is not in it for the fun, philosophy, or love of the art. And as to the limited time... all that was needed was more scanners

On my LS-4000 scanning Provia 400F slides I usually end up at gamma 2.4, with a brightness of 1.3 or so (white point 0.001). The histograms look fine when I get into Photoshop. I wonder if the physical film type, or maybe the media type and color balance settings change the gamma and brightne
