Hello Dr. Shepard, i think youre talking about the "Scheimpflug"-method. But i do not own a camera that is capable of that (SINAR,Rollei, etc). These would be too heavy, complicated and time-consuming to be used at holliday-trips. I'm using a Minolta 800si and a SIGMA-Zoom (28-200). As long as i had time enough to convert my bathroom into a darkroom for days, i used a method like this to correct that distortion when exposing the prints. So i thought this could be done mathematically on the pixels in RAM. There are more than needed for a "close to chemical"-print since i got a Canon FS4000 filmscanner. thanks for your Mail Peter -- Peter Buckenleib Am Europakanal 8 91056 Erlangen Tel: 09131 992234 Fax: 09131 791045 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
