  1. Was white balance on auto ? Maybe different modes uses a different algorithm to calculate white balance ? In some raw converters you can see which WB-setting was used on the Kelvin scale, or you can set them all to a preset, e.g. daylight, and then check the histogram again. Actually I have no clue...
  2. Or you can just use the video out jack and connect to any TV-set, or a video input on your laptop. Then of course the pictures will be stored on your CF-card instead of the computers drive.<p>Regards,<br>Kris.
  3. Convert to sRGB before sending out to a lab. They will not do the conversion for you, as they assume that everybody uses sRGB (most digicams do).<p>

    I tried in PS to assign sRGB instead of converting (that is what the lab would do), and it made it a lot greener on my monitor.

  4. Try Nikon View (free download from Nikon's site). It's a file manager, viewer, basic editor and RAW converter, although it doesn't do batches (I would have called it CaptureLite or so). It automatically adds a plug-in to Photoshop so you can also open RAW files directly. The converter is pretty basic though: choose between the different white-balance presets or choose as shot, exposure compensation and 8 or 16 bits conversion, but for me it does the job, but then I'm just starting with RAW - better results than shooting jpgs anyway.
  5. Is it the colours you are after or the movement effect ?<p>

    For the colours you had already great advice.<p>What the movement concerns, it seems to be a stack of machine-gun style pictures. In the closest car I can count at least 12 frames. Tripod is key here. Maybe the shots were bracketed to achieve higher dynamic range as well.<p>Lighting seems a typical dull overcast Belgian day. I'm so glad I moved away there.<p>

    Hope I'm not too far off.<p>

    Regards,<br>

  6. If you are reading this, then it means you didn't jump off a bridge, or you survived the jump :-) <p>

    The setup files on your card may be corrupted. Try to get the update files (or the original firmware) on a card through a card reader, not through the camera. Make sure there is no other information on the card ! Then plug it in and retry.<p>

    I have no experience with your camera but got once in trouble with a Canon, and on another occasion with a GPS. In both occasions, this way it worked.<p>

    Good Luck.

  7. Thanks for the responses so far. Here's an update.<p>

    I've been trying all afternoon to get the scans right, until the problem got even worse: thicker lines, more lines and then freezing of the scanner. I had even to pull the power plug out to be able to turn it off and on again.<p>

    Then I changed to another USB port, the computer had to install the scanner again and I have now been able to scan a few frames without lines (I hope scanners can't read :-) <p>

    I also unplugged my flatbed scanner and printer (both Epsons). Could this have been the problem ?<p>

  8. Hi All,<p>

    I'm using a Dimage Scan Dual IV for scanning colour negs. Since some

    time I have problems with vertical lines running through the scans.

    The problem is irregular, and sometimes shows up with the preview,

    sometimes in the scan itself, but never in the same place.<p>I have

    already tried to uninstall and install the drivers again, several

    times, but no success.<p>

    It seems the problem shows up after or in the second roll, almost

    never in the first one.<p>

    I am suspecting it could be a problem with Windows XP messing USB

    ports up, but I have really no clue.<p>

    I appreciate any help on this matter.<p>

    In the attached example the lines appear of course horizontally, as

    the frame was turned 90ᄎ :-).<p>Anyone else had this problem ?<div>00FT5e-28516784.thumb.jpg.17a8480b23853592e0e5a59b6c0c7ee8.jpg</div>

  9. Ask yourself what the EOS 620 can do that the Rebel G can't, and then if you need that extra. If the answer is no, then you shouldn't upgrade for the moment.<p>

    Myself I just bought a second EOS 500n (=Rebel G) for no money, so I can load each one with different film, and I don't really miss any of the whistles of the superior models.

  10. I assume you got low-res scans from the lab. In it's days, it took me only one roll to find out that the scan quality (even their "pro" option with about 6 megapixels) could easily be beaten, even with my first flatbed with filmadapter (Epson 1660 photo).<p>I have now a Scan Dual IV and could not be happier with it.<p>From prints, no one can tell the difference between my digital captures and film (both printed on a Fuji Frontier). <p>Try to find someone with a film scanner who knows what he is doing and I bet you will be surprised.
  11. Anyway, here's the result and I'm very happy with it (at least I learned a lot). Due to the fiddling with the film I have a few damaged frames, but that's what testrolls are for !<br>

    Thanks to this forum I got into colour developing and I must say it was really worth the effort. Even more, I found the process itself easier than B&W. And at least I won't have fingerprints anymore from the usual labmonkey.<p>

    Thanks for being here,<br>Kris.<div>00DBdj-25116484.thumb.jpg.9e2389762fc30db8dd3adfe60e45e169.jpg</div>
