This matter of excess blue in a landscape image goes all the way back to
early B&W photography in the 19th Century when the films and glass plates
would respond only to blue light, hence the always "white" skies in old
photos. The sky was virtually all blue light and would overexpose the

Yes, it's stressfull. I've only done 3 weddings (landscapes are my forte):

Epson does seem to be the only manufacturer that has focussed on the
longevity/archivability question and that's what attacts me to their
products. I'm thinking of getting an Epson 2000P only because I don't have
room for anything larger.
Since I have a photo archive from 1866 onward, the longe

Good advice! Testing before purchasing may be a major problem with vendors,
I would think.
The "mismatching" of neg image with the opening(s) in a neg carrier is not a
problem for me -- I usually shot with an "oversize" neg image in mind
because I used a film carrier on my Beseler enlarger. Bes

I built a "doorless cabinet" into a far corner of my darkroom away from

I agree. If it's UV filtering glass in a sealed frame, that might be a
