<p>I am pleased to announce that my traveling retrospective exhibition<a href="http://www.photography.org/exhibitions.php#jsexton"> John Sexton: A Photographer’s Journey</a> will be on display at the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, California from July 3 through August 27, 2010. The last time I had a large exhibition of my work in my own “backyard” was my exhibition at the Monterey Museum of Art in 1994. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to share images with my many photographic friends and neighbors here on the Monterey Peninsula. If your travel plans will bring you to this area, I hope you will take the opportunity to come by and see the exhibition.</p>

<p>On Saturday, July 10, I will be presenting a lecture and book signing from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, which will be followed by an opening reception in the gallery from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. Both events are free and open to the public. Included in the exhibition and presentation will be some new images, as well as earlier photographs from my more than thirty-five year career in photography. During the lecture I will illustrate the evolutionary process of some of the images from the negative to the finished print, exploring a number of the creative controls I use in making my silver gelatin photographs. In addition, I will show some unique Ansel Adams images and discuss his influence on my photography. A book signing will be held following the lecture.</p>

<p>During the opening reception there will be a raffle for one of my 11x14" original silver-gelatin prints valued at $1,000. All proceeds will benefit the Center for Photographic Art. Additional information about the print raffle can be found below</p>

<p>You can learn about the exhibition, opening reception, print raffle, and lecture here.

I look forward to seeing a number of you on July 10.</p><div></div>

I will try to post sample scans. Unfortunately, I am travelling and don't have the digital

files on this laptop.

To try and describe the situation more clearly... it is not simply that the rectilinear shape is

rotated. That I know how to correct easily.

Rather, imagine the a square. Now imagine the top and bottom horizontal edges perfectly

aligned with guides in Photoshop. If that is the case, the vertical edges do not align with

the Photoshop guides - the vertical edges are parallel to one another, but they "drift"

slightly to the left from top to bottom.

I would estimate the drift at about 1 degree or so, but it is noticeable on screen at high

magnification. The two V750's that I have used (my own and a friends) have exactly the

same result. Interestingly my 10000XL produces an image of the same target that is dead

on.

I know this can be corrected in Photoshop, but I would imagine that correcting this lack of

rectilinearity would slightly diminish the resolution in that portion of the image.

Thanks again for the help,

Bill

Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem as I am having with an Epson V750-M?

When scanning a 4x5" negative (both on the glass and in the Epson film holder) I noticed that the image

was SLIGHTLY out of square.

I then checked the film itself -- same result.

After that I took an old scientific glass plate used years ago for making circuit boards. It has numerous

precise grids. When scnned, the resulting image is just slightly out of square. I have tried it on 2 different

V750's with virtually identical results.

If I scan this glass plate with my Epson 1000XL I get an almost perfectly square image.

I can't find any other references to this "problem" or irregularity.

Is this something to be concerned about?

Thanks,

Bill
