Does anyone know what the best deals are in the UK for purchasing one? I've heard so many good things about this scanner and I've been contemplating upgrading my LS30 for the past year. Currently Speed Graphic and CPW are selling for £1200 inc VAT. Can I get one cheaper anywhere else? Please don

It is safest to burn at 2x, although I always burn at 6x. This depends on the buffer underrun size of the CD recorder (why Plextors are especially reliable). Taken from http://www.fadden.com/cdrfaq/ "The CD recording process can't be interrupted in mid-session. Once the laser starts writing, any

Thanks for this reply. Does 'Save for web' in Photoshop convert the image to sRBG then? I didn't realise this. I've been looking at the documentation but can't find anything to say that. Must be a lesser know fact. I saved all my images using the 'Save for web' option and so should be OK then! Ph

I've just looked at the new 50MB scan, very noisy with some vertical banding. The scan is much too light, with the histogram showing no blacks. Can be easily corrected but some detail lost in the highlights of the scan. They probably thought my trannie was too dark but it is of a swan, the swan i

The lab specified a 50MB scan in their brochure. To me that means a scan that is a physical size of 50MB. I didn't realise it was common to compress to jpeg and would have liked to have been told that/given the option. I haven't looked at the new scan, a quick look at the jpeg scan showed it was

Does everyone here embed sRGB colour spaces into web graphics? I wasn't sure if this was the best thing to do, I assume it would help standardise how the images are displayed on different machines. It would also increase file size/image download time. I haven't on my site (www.lightdrawing.com),
