So Ellis are you saying all these images that I've seen on the web with the blue color was magical... You mean I can never get the blue color with image transfer?

Why is that the blue color doesn't register when I do image transfer.

Beasically I can see green, yellow but the blue and it comes out like red or

magenta.

John I do have her book but one thing that is not clear to me, is when I'm doing image fransfer the sticky substance should be transfered along with the dye to the reseptor or not? It's talking about the lift off but I'm not sure it should not be lifted up from original negative or from the reseptor!!!

I am trying to do the image fransfer by 669 film. By the time I am done I can

see some sticky substance on the paper and some faint cyan color around it with

no sticky substance. Should the whole substace (the sticky one) be transfered

to reciving paper or just the dye?

Thank you all so much for the info.

Hi every one, I took 4 outdoor pictures on a sunny day, and it gave a nice

bright pictures. But I had to adjust the exposure like +1 stop with T-669 film.

Now I had to try one indoor at a night time. So when I took the picture from

the kitchen at night time with flourecent lights on, the picture came out dark.

There was something in the pictue but I could hardly see it. I didn't hand held

it thought. I know it was not enough light to give me good print, Or is that

the case? I don't know! Can anyone tell me why and what are the shutter speeds

plus apatures on these cameras?

 

Thanks

Very helpful, thanks you all. But now I think I have a problem with the battery compartment. Does any one have a picute of the battery compartment of 250. there are two wires one black which is connected to a white plastic head but balck is there attached to nothing. I took three 1.5 volt batteries just to tetst but when I trigger the shutter in different lighting the speed sound the same. Any thoughts?

Partrick can you name some cameras that will take modern flashes without any modification

As it goes for me it's not a problem. I have a 250 land camera that I can place vivtar flash and change the battery compartment and all that. But I have friends who are not realy into photography but love to use a camera which is simpler yet they can do some emulsion lifts, you know. Holga is not a bad idea but the pic will be way to small..

Hi everyone, I know 669 and 667 films can be used with land cameras for

creativity use. But I was considering a Polaroid camera that comes with the

flash like the newer models which is compatible with the 669 or maybe other

films which I don't know that I can do emulsion lifts.

 

Thanks

I am selling my beseler/minolta 45A head unit on ebay. but I took the picture

with the whole unit, meaning with the omeag D-5 unit. this guy is telling me to

sell the adapter brackets too. I don't get his quetion? So he wrote me

again "The adapter brackets are the vertical metal brackets depicted in your

photo that attaches to the unit housing and the lift levers". Is he talking

about the whole unit or just a unit that the light head sits on it. If he is

talking about a part of the enlarger if I sell it, would I be able to sell the

rest of the unit the Omega D-5?

Ole can you be more specific when you say surplus amount of Silver Nitrate. You mean more grams then recommended amount? If yes, how much more?

Nick, I see where you are going. You are absolutely right. I can not believe I did not think of that. Thanks a lot for recommending the book also.

Hi everyone,

This might be a stupid question but I ask anyways.

What role does NaNO3(aq) or NaCl(aq) play in an albumen print? You guys know

The raction of NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) = AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq). What I am trying to

say is, can I just mixed AgCl(s) with gelatin and sentisze the paper only after

I do the above reaction of course?

Alessandro I know. But if you read carefully I wrote in total of 100ml not 1000ml...but thanks for caring. :)

Ok I recalibrated my meter to 7.01 with the buffer. I checked the water it was 7.02 at room temperature. Then I mixed the sodium sulfite 10% dilution at 68F and my reading was like pH 9.80 this time. I do not know?..

What is Kb value? And you mean Na2SO3, right?

I will make sure to recalibrate my pH meter and run a test again. But I think the water I'm using is more then pH 7.00.

Well John by adding 10 grams to 100ml H20 the molarity is 0.79. But tell me one thing, if I increase the M in a solution the pH will increase or decrease?

Sorry I mean 5 grams and 10 grams

Hi everyone.

 

I ran a test by adding 5mg of sodium sulfite anhydrous into 100ml distilled

water (5% dilution). The reading showed pH 10.00, then I added 5mg more SSA,

the reading was pH 10.17. Are those readings normal? I read somewhere that the

pH at 5% dilution should be 9.00.

Yes Jacopo the difference is very little. I had to click on the zoom three times to see the difference on both images. But there was a difference and it was surprising for me to see that because I didn?t know each browser or what ever they are called have distinct parameters. But I was just hoping I am not losing any quality when I am sending out to get some prints done. The same way I saw the difference between two different browsers. That's all

I do save in sRGB color space, quality at 12 in standard.

But for now forget about how I save. The picture strait coming from my digital camera viewed in Photoshop is much sharper then it is viewed in window picture and fax viewer. Try it for yourself. Minimize the picture in windows picture and fax viewer bring it next to the same picture viewed with Photoshop and you will see the difference.

I am so sorry everyone I meant .PSD not .PDF.

And Rainer sorry it was just a cyber error. I was so tiered I didn?t know what I was writing. What I meant was when I preview the same image saved in jpeg with ?windows picture and fax viewer" it?s not as sharp as when I view the same file with Photoshop! But Jeff already mentioned ?Ignore the Windows viewer, it's not intended for printing or other critical photographic applications?.

But I guess I should not worry saving the file in any other format but jpeg if it?s intended for printing.

 

Thanks everyone for your time.

Is there any other format equal in quality to PDF that is more common for the labs to print?
