<p>It most definitely is <strong>not</strong> common USA hardware store 1/4-20. You can usually manage to insert a common 1/4-20 into photo gear about 3 revolutions before it starts to bind. In some situations that's all you need, but won't work as well as a Whitworth thread 1/4-20. Is Whitworth thread even commonly available in the UK? Thought it was a spec from the 1800's.</p>

When shooting architecture I will sometimes control perspective by

pointing the camera in a direction not directly at the subject, and

then shift the lens to include the elements I want in the picture.

 

If you have a shot not taken with a view camera, is it possible to

simulate this technique in Photoshop?

The Polaroid website has a "letter to customers" posted.

 

<p>

 

It says in part:

 

<p>

 

"Going forward, Polaroid intends to continue to manufacture, market

and distribute our core instant imaging products, and to continue to

provide the high quality service and support for these products that

our customers expect."

Anything could happen, but their statement makes me believe they

would like to keep instant film in production.

Matt,

In Silverfast (v5.5 on my system) the focus depth can be set

independent from reflective vs. transparency. Look at the icons

along the left side of the preview window. The icon to set focus is

the 6th tool down from the top (between the scan pilot icon and the

IT8 calibrate icon). When you click this icon, the number inside the

icon flips between "0" and ""2.5". When using the holders, set it at

2.5, and if scanning on the bed, use 0. This tool doesn't have a

tool tip mini help description at the bottom of the window like the

other tools have. Good luck.

Does the recent Supreme Court ruling have any impact on the legality

of using a motorized golf cart for professional large format

photography?
