Slide Copying With Bellows

Hi, I recall someone was recently exploring digitizing slides with with a DSLR and bellows. May I please ask, how did that work and what was the setup? How does it compare quality-wise to a flat-bed scanner or film scanner? Thanks in advance. Kim -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List

Re: Question: Interactively setting watermark position in LR?

Igor - You might take a look at the Fundy Designer. Developed as a suite with modules, you can buy just the module you need separately. The Image Brander module is for branding/watermarking. It seems pretty flexible and is fairly inexpensive.

Re: PESO - 'Bird of Chrome'

Ken, I don't think the background is too awful. The lighter colored part is almost elegant. I did think the black box could be minimized by cropping tighter on top. I know it crowds the wingtips but it does turn the black box into smaller black strip which echo the lower part of the photo. BTW

Slight correction. The Amazon link and price are correct, but the seller is not Amazon themselves. Amazon's actual current price is $1,719.57, however 2 marketplace sellers have it on Amazon for less than that. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00TGVI4Y8/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8=new On Tue,

Kim, I recommend watching this video. His presentation seems painfully slow, but he's got his facts together. He has a work-around to achieve the full slide with a APS-C crop DSLR (Pentax). He also speaks to it out-performing a 3200dpi scanner (dependent upon the aperture you shoot at and the MP
