Wow! Now I'm worried. Hope I don't see any black helicopters circling my home.

 

Joking aside, I really would like to hear a few reasons.

I've noticed a number of people mentioning they prefer to print from Lightroom. Being new to digital printing, I must ask if there is an advantage to Lightroom printing or any other reason(s) for the preference.

New to digital photography and printing. I have a Canon Pro100. Question is if I use Canon, Red River or an quality paper am I required to use that paper's profile?

<p>Thank you Tudor. I'll try that.</p>

<p>Yes, tried that but still getting blueish prints.</p>

<p>Relative newby here having a problem with one scanned B&W print. No matter what setting I use in Photoshop, it still prints mostly blue.<br>

I'm scanning with Vuescan and a Brother MFC. Haven't had any problems with other B&W prints. Tried printing with no changes to the scan and using Photoshop adjustments. Any ideas?<br>

Forgot tp add I'm printing with a Canon iX6520 on Canon Glossy aii.</p>

<p>After using film SLRs with standard focal length lenses, i.e. 50MM, 52MM etc., I'll be switching to mirrorless

cameras. How does one determine how mirrorless focal lengths relate to SLR focal lengths? For example, a

mirrorless 14 to 42MM lens which comes as the standard lens - is this comparable to the 50 to 55MM lens that

may have been the standard lens for a SLR? If not, is there a rule of thumb for converting?</p>

<p>Sorry for posing here in the wrong forum. I've now asked this in the Mirrorless forum. Couldn't find any way to delete this post. <br>

<p>Thanks JC Uknz. Learning new tricks isn't the problem. Learning with old eyes is. I do appreciate your Panasonic input especially reminding me that there are two other Gs listed with better grades. I 'll probably go for the 9+.<br>

Since so many new mirrorless do not include any for of finder, how do you am/pros handle bright days, beach scenes etc. without a finder?</p>

<p>Thanks to all for the advice. I'll research all models suggested and also consider an inexpensive DSLR.<br>

PS: Found a used Panasonic Lumix G5 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera with Lumix G Vario 14-42mm Lens at B&H Photo for $290.00. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>OK call me anal but after using film SLRs for 40 years and 74 year old eyes, I'm lost without a viewfinder. Looking for recommendations for a mirrorless with viewfinder which, hopefully, won't break the bank. Is there anything available in the $400.00 range?</p>

<p>Thank you Howard.</p>

<p>I'm learning that 11x14 in the digital world is unusual but I'm coming from many years in a darkroom and, as you probably know, 11x14 was one of the norms. I guess there's a good reason why and I'll just have to live with it.<br>

Have you used paper from the website you furnished and can you comment on its' quality if you have?</p>

<p>Canon doesn't offer any type of 11x14" paper. Need recommendations for other good brands offering all finishes of 11x14" paper. </p>

Reason I asked about this printer is I need to print larger that 8.5 x 11 and I can get a new one from Craig's List for $169.00. I now use a Canon iP4820 that uses two black cartridges but the 9000 uses only one. The iP4820 does a great job printing B&W scanned photos (original negatives damaged in a basement flood). Can a printer that uses only one black ink print as well as a printer using two black inks? </p>

<p>Interested in hearing anyone's experience printing B&W with the Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II.</p>

<p>John,<br>

Thank you. I'll do that.</p>

<p>It's a Canon iP4820.</p>

<p>I won't be using my printer for a few months and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions concerning 'mothballing' it. I'll perform all of the maintenance options, i.e. nozzle and roller cleaning and remove the ink cartridges but would appreciate hearing any other suggestions.</p>

<p>Mike,<br>

I've learned that instructions are not necessary. I was unaware that the action simply had to be "played" as a script is played.</p>

<p>Anyone know where to get instructions for using the SMS Matting and Framing Action in Photoshop? I've lost the internet site where I learned about it. </p>

<p>Thanks Scott. I'll check with them. I found another here - <a href="http://www.utrechtart.com">http://www.utrechtart.com</a>.<br>

They offer Nielsen Photography frames with 1/4 borders I've been looking for. Another plus is they have a branch here in Philadelphia. Not inexpensive but what I want. </p>

 

<p>Thanks to all. I'll look into all of your suggestions. </p>

<p>I'm looking for an inexpensive source for frames. Specifically, black metal with 3/8" or 1/2" front exposure. Any ideas?</p>
