<I>"....Firefox 3 is already available on Unix and Linux systems</I><P>I have been

using Firefox 3 beta on a Macintosh for a couple of months and it works

great.<P>"....work on a Mac, and prepare their own online images........images that

aren't adaptd to the sRGB space"</I><P>That isn't just a Macintosh problem, being

that sRGB is platform agnostic, but an operator not saving as sRGB regardless of

the Operating System used. If one is using Photoshop "Save for Web" then the

"Standard Windows Color" box should be check, regardless of what OS one is

using. Also if one is using the latest PS version then "Save as sRGB" can be made

the default in "SFW".<P>I do all my web work on a Macintosh but also have a white

box PC, with a non calibratedd monitor, using XP, IE and Firefox for checking things

out and my web images are very close on the Windows box, even in the infamous

Internet Explorer.

<I>Anyone with similar issues?</I><P>No and I have been using Aperture since day

one, even before the rebate in fact.<BR>Why should Apple give you a refund, the

problem isn't with Aperture but somewhere within your computer. Now that could be a

Apple problem but Aperture isn't. <BR> BTW, you are the first one that I'm aware of

that Apple "made" you <I>replace RAM, hard drive and all software (they actually

made me wipe my imac and re-install</I> Sounds like you got Microsoft support by

mistake. LOL<P>It does sound like a hardware problem, along the lines of a kernel

panic, which are bitch to find. Good luck.

Sony and Apple have been working on fuel cells for the last several years. Sony

showed a prototype hybrid fuel cell system last month that is 1.2 by 2 inches.

<P>From a review at electronista.com: "The active fuel cell system uses methanol as

fuel, and earns the hybrid designation as the output is complemented with a Li-polymer

secondary battery. Traditional fuel cells produce electricity from various external

quantities of fuel, and last for long amounts of time, but constantly require re-fueling,

while Sony's prototype could operate by storing the produced charge in its integrated

battery."

The Windows version is epson321059eu, it is zip file. When you download just make

sure you are downloading Windows not Macintosh. But as Ian said just make it easy

and convert to Macintosh.

<I>......and not at all the technical stuff you need to get an image on film.</I><P>That

is not doubt the most absurd comment I have seen on Photonet. The only difference

between digital and film is one uses a digital sensor while the other uses film to

capture the image. Light is bipartisan.

<I>.......MF-Glass-Holder, but scanning 35mm with it is a PITA...</I><P>Not if you

use Vuescan. The trick with the glass holder is to use a minus "Frame offset" and

then pull the "crop box" around the image.

<I>ever try the real method?</I><P>The "real method" is described by Kristin. What

don't you understand about "stop/delete the job"? <P>This problem has popped with

OSX and most users think has to do with a buffer overrun. I have no idea if that is the

reason nor do I care, just want to work. It has happened to me with OSX 10.4.x and

ended up thrashing everything Epson and starting over. Never happened with OTR so

it must be a Epson/Apple spat. BTW, since going to OSX 10.5.x I haven't had the

problem, knock on wood.

PS3 should work. OSX has what is called Rosetta built in which converts PowerPC

applications to work with Intel. There is no emulation just a translation of software, big

difference and I doubt that you will notice a speed difference with PSE. BTW, PSE3 is

over three years old, you might want to get 6 in any case.

<I>"....most of the page loads from a mac.com domain.

"</I><P> The .mac link is for the Johnson Family Blog which has linked to

"whattheduck,net". The link I provided is the "duck" website, use whatever works for

you.

<I>"....The simplest and most inexpensive way is to download the free Raw

Therapy</I><P>Not if one is using the Macintosh OS.

You might also want to check out Portfolio 8.5 by

<a href=http://www.extensis.com/>Extensis</a>. They offer a free 30 day trial.

Works fine and very fast in Safari and Firefox for Macintosh, of course speed depends

on ones internet conection. The links that Mark and Peter posted go through

.mac.com which might cause a problem with Windows users.<P>For direct link try: <a

Gianni Rogliatti's excellent book, "Leica - The First Sixty Years", first published in

1975, shows the subject Leica as "schwarz". <P>Quoting Rogliatti, "...production

officially stopped in 1971 with serial number 1,286,700; however late in 1973 it was

decided to make another small number of black M4's, finished in the new black

chrome, which had been developed for the M5's from both Canada and Wetzlar.

Late production Canadian M4's in black chrome were actually engraved with Leitz

Canada wording, whereas earlier cameras assembled in Canada carried "Wetzlar"

engrave top-plates."<P>The seller is using Cameraquest as a reference but when

one goes to CQ the listing doesn't say black paint just black. Me thinks that the

seller is not trying to pull a fast one, he is just confused. I sent the seller the above

information.

I have both the Nikon LS9000 and the Epson V750.<br>If you are going to only scan

film, not reflective copy, and are going no larger then medium format the go for the

Nikon.<br> The size of the prints that can be made from either scanner depends on the

size of the negative used, the Epson can scan up to a 8"x10" negative. The size of a

print from a sharp 8x10 neg. can be measured in feet not inches. With a decent 2 1/4

negative one can get sharp prints at least 30"x30" from either scanner. <br>Both

scanners can use fluid mounting, in fact I fluid mount with the Nikon using a glass

holder, works fine.

Rodinal Special is a phenidone-hydroquinone composition.<br>

Rodinal is a p-aminophenol composition.<P>

<I>"Special contains no Rodinal".</I> Nor does Rodinal, Rodinal is a trade name not

a chemical.<P>BTW, Studional is still being sold in Europe along with Special and the

original Rodinal by a & o Imaging Solutions who took over Afga.

In Photoshop "Save as" choose "Photoshop PDF" to save as a PDF. BTW, PDF is

written into the Macintosh Operating System so one can read and save PDF files

without having any Adobe software on the Macintosh, it uses "Preview".<P>As far

as a PC not being able to read .jpgs/.jpegs the problem is on their end. With a

Macintosh it doesn't matter if the extension is jpg or jpeg. I have both Macintosh

and Window machines and I have no problem going from one to the other with

jpgs.<P>Why you can't open the files after burning in Toast is news to me. I also

use Toast and never have a problem with reading the CDs. There is one way with

Toast that will prevent PCs from opening files and that is if "Mac Only" is checked

in the Data window, but that will not stop a Macintosh from opening the file.<P>Have

you tried copying the jpgs to the desk top and then opening them?

Photoshop CS3 can use a maximum of 3 gigs of RAM. The 2 GB PSD, 4 GB TIFF

number is for the file size the CS3 can work on, not the amount of RAM used. 3 GB

for CS3, which is 32-bit, is the maximum that can be used, but on a 64-bit operating

system, OSX 10.5 in my case, CS3 can access up to 8 GB. The amount over 3 GB is

used by PS plugins, filters, actions etc, plus anything above 4 GB is used by the

operating system as a cache for the PS scratch disk data. <P>As we say in the

Professional Photography/Graphics world, "Too much RAM is not enough!"

Oh, forgot to mention when you use Image Processor your original image is left as is,

a JPG copy is made and placed in a folder labeled "JPGs" where you chose.

If you are using PhotoshopCS3 you can use either "Save for Web" or "Scripts" >

"Image Processor" to change your images to sRGB, 8-bit, JPGs. <BR> Image

Processor will convert RAW, TIFF with layers, including resizing for the web, to JPGs -

sRGSs with one click of the mouse.

I don't care if someone takes images off of my website, I just ask that they spell my

name right when they repost it.
