A while back I had a similar difficulty with some other scanning software. I found that by scanning the film as a positive rather than a negative the software's notion of black/white points was much better -- especially in the thin regions of the negative. Roy On Saturday, March 26, 2005, at 12:0

Hi Brad, I think I would be satisfied for a while at least with 200ppi on the largest prints I can make on a 2200 printer, let's say 12" x 16", which works out to about 8 megapixels. Since Olympus has an 8 megapixel CCD on the E300 "Evolt" already, I am waiting for them to put it on an E-3, or wh

That would be 35mm if I did the math right. I'm guessing more than 5 years and less than 10. When my old 35mm developed a shutter timing problem which I deemed not worth the money to fix (about a year or so ago), I looked at the DSLR market and decided I just wouldn't be happy with the results, so

So, is that "full frame" 35mm or full frame 645? 25 mp full frame 35mm size is a tall order. How long do you expect to have to wait for such a thing? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >For me, the color mask has to go. Some sort of Foveon like technology is >needed. I'd like to see the pixel spacing

For me, the color mask has to go. Some sort of Foveon like technology is needed. I'd like to see the pixel spacing held to 6um and full frame, so we are talking 6000x4333, or roughly 25Mpixel. Brad Davis wrote: >On 25/3/05 17:33, "Berry Ives" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >>Still waiting for

From: "Austin Franklin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > At this stage, you don't expand anything. You set your setpoint so that you only USE the valid image data within the overall range. Therefore, say, your scanner is 10 bits, and therefore gives you 0-1023...and your image data occupies the
