I am using the ColorVision spyder basic. great bit of kit, very pleased with the results, I use it with my 1290s for printing using Ilford papers and the coresponding paper profiles.

Nikon have just released a new 35mm film camera, do you think they would have done that if they were worried about film sales?

How do you make good sharp thumbnails for web use, as mine never

seem sharp.

This is like asking which is the best Beer, it all comes down to prefered taste, and just like beer try as many as you can, as only you can decide.

It should be fine for that size, a TV program here in the UK did a comparison test involving a 35mm film camera, and it's digital equivelent, and using the same lens on both bodies, the pro photographer took a full size body shot of the female presenter, and then had both images blown up to 30 feet high, and hung them side by side off of a building. The majority of passers by preffered the digital image.

Mark are you sure you had contigious ticked as I tried on your picture and it removed it all? just leaving your "ants" behind.

try expanding the view to actual pixels, and then tick the contigious box before using the wand.

the easiest way to do this is to open image then open another image layer, then convert new layer to mono, then erase the area you want to be coloured, then flatten image.

I also got a book that helped a lot.

 

Teach yourself Dreamweaver MX 2004 in 24 hours. by Betsy Bruce. isbn 0-672-32593-4

Hi Matthew, I used MX for my first and only (so far) attempt at a web site, www.coastal-photographic.com I am not in any way computer or IT work related, this site took me just two weeks from start to finish (yes I know it shows) I used the help files, and a search on google for free dreamweaver tutorials, and worked from there.

Replacing Sky...

 

Open your image.

 

goto (image) (image size) from the top menu. and write down pixel dimensions (width + height) and (resolution).

 

goto (file) (new) on top menu, and copy all sizes into the boxes, width, height, resolution. and click in (transparent) at the bottom. You will now have a box with a chessboard effect in it.

 

Open the (move tool) from the tool bar and (drag) YOUR image onto the new (transparent) image, then close your original image.

 

Open (magic wand tool) from tool bar, and click on the sky, then goto (select) (feather, set at 15) from top menu, then (edit) (cut).

 

Now it is time to put in the sky, so open the sky image you want to use, and (resize) as above.

 

open the (move tool) from tool bar,and (drag) the sky image onto the working image, (at this moment the sky will be on top of your image)

 

Now we have to move the sky layer below the other. So goto the (layers pallet) on the right of your screen? highlight and drag the sky layer (layer 2) below (layer 1)

 

Now you can position the sky where you want, before merging layers.<div></div>

Glad I could help, that is what these forums are all about.

Let us see the finished shot.

Open image.

create new layer.

 

select magic wand from tool bar, and then select sky area.

 

then goto (select) (feather) from top menu, set feather at 15.

 

then (filter) (render) (difference clouds) from top menu.

 

if you then feel the need use the burn tool for fine adjustment.<div></div>

Just have a look here at the work of Perry Dilbeck using the humble Holga, stunning work.

There is just too much camera snobbery out there, a $1500 camera doesn't see the picture it is your eye that does that.

I am in the market for a square format Bronica, but there are so

many models, SQ - SQA - SQAI - SQAM - SQB.

 

So Which one and why?

Hi Collin, the reason that I am asking the question is that I have a nice original MK V111 user manual, and I would like it to go to someone who has the camera, so if any of the users you know would like it then please let me know, and they can have it gratis.

I can't understand you people blaming Digital for the demise of film, it has nothing to do with digital, it has a lot to do with the dis-loyalty of film users who have turned there backs on film, in the same way that many turned their backs on large format when 35mm came along.

Film should survive, maybe not in all flavours, and maybe not your favourites, but realy you are to blame for not shooting enough!

Thanks for the replys, no MkV111 users then?

This is for the ETR/s but it will give you most of what you need to know...

I was just wondering if any of you use an MPP 4x5 camera, as there

appears to be no posts concerning these, and if you do what model?

you will find out more here........

You need a film in the film back to fire the shutter, if you need to fire the shutter with the back off then you have to put the lever up for multi-exposure. this is not a fault!

Just remember to put the lever in the normal position when you load a film, or finish playing;-)

I think Horseman are still making a couple....
