It is always the observed resolution of an actual photograph and is synonymous with resolution in that sense. - I use the term resolution to indicate the calculated or theoretical capability for detail in a medium, usually. It can also be used to refer to the measured, observed detail of a specific photograph in which case it is the same as actuance. Is that clearer to you? Only partially. It is then that LR control called clarity should have direct effect on acutance of an image either displayed to you or printed, right? Clarity has nothing to do with actuance. Clarity is a 'smart' mid-tone contrast adjustment tool. Oh... Well, I've reread and reread and reread again your answers, Godfrey. Here is what I managed to make out of them. 1. Sharpness is a perceived quality of a displayed image. 2. Acutance and resolution are measured. Resolution is more theoretical such as a resolution of a lens and acutance is more practical, depending on the specifics of the given image (screen, paper, etc). If that's correct then it would seem that I got it upside down thinking that resolution is measured and acutance is perceived...

RE: OT Mac migration application
BTW: What value is there in .docx files vs .doc files? or even vs .rtf files? I've never seen one. I'd be curious to know. Pages '09 reads .DOCX files too, how they differ from .DOC files and what advantage they pose seems invisible. To the non-technical end user it doesn't really matter other than that .doc is the most proprietary of the formats. The others are an attempt to open up document formats to make them easier to share. docx is an xml format whereas the others are (I think) binary. xml is a notation used for structuring texts. Doc is proprietary to MS, as indeed is docx, but it's open and the dtd (a machine-readable technical document that describes types of xml text) is published somewhere so that xml processors should theoretically be able to deal with it and published changes relatively easily. xml itself is a mess, but that's a different story. rtf is not proprietary. For the type of word processing that I do - keeping things simple based on long-standing document design principles and avoiding all the crap - it's perfectly adequate.

Re: Re: Pentax 67 resolution compared to 15 MP Digital
Good point Godfrey. To me is more an economical issue. I own a large collection of Pentacon Six /Carl Zeiss Jena/Schneider Kreutznach lenses. I got this 10-15 years ago (ebay) after selling my Rolleiflex (man, was that great), since I needed interchangeable lenses. The Pentacon Six really does deliver great results, but: 1. The Pentacon doesn't have a built in lightmeter in the prisma. So it's really only for studio work. But more important: 2. I just can't seem to learn how to compose square images - so, I wanted a rectangular format - like 6x7. So finally, as the price tags seemed to drop a lot, I got a nice deal on a Pentax 67 + 2.8 90mm lens, a few weeks ago. Aftewards I have bought a Pentax 300mm and a Pentax 4.0 165mm LS lens for flash photography. Now I only miss a 45mm or 55mm :-) So, I'm selliong my Pentacon Six equipment shortly The first reason I got a Pentax 67 is, that I can't afford a Pentax 645D :-)) In Europe this will cost 20,000 USD with one lens. I would have to be a full time pro in order to convince my wife, I need this :-) The 645D would cost me money (interest), since I don't have 20 grand to many lying arrond, even if it's not in use, for a while. The 67 will only cost me money, when ever I have a paying customer to take care of the bills (film, development etc.) So, until I win the lottery, I will use medium format as long as I can convince myself, that it will deliver results superior to my K20D or K-7 (and (hopefully soon) the K-5). I bought the Petnax 67 from a pro rental studio, that didn't really want it anymore. At this studio, I could see film wrappings lying on the floor here and there - which means: Pros still use film - at least to some extend.

Re: Question of terms and/or English
I've lived 51 years without knowing what acuteness is and feel none the worse for it, so I think we can safely take it out of the English language. Still, this seems to be a good definition I found while Googling (to better myself): Sharpness is a subjective sensation. Objective correlates of sharpness are resolution and contrast (MTF curves are one way to represent resolution and contrast - there are other ways). The term resolution refers to the ability of a system to separate (i.e., resolve) two closely spaced lines. The finer (i.e., the more closely spaced the lines) the system can resolve, the better the resolution of the system. Acutance refers to the abruptness of an edge. That is, does black abruptly become white or is there a border where black goes to dark grey, light grey before going to white. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Question of terms and/or English
I lived 39 years before this very thread on the list /grin/... Darren, what occurs to me is that given that contrast is the rate at which one tone is changed to another, acutance is indeed very similar to local contrast. Obviously, I am not going to be using any of these terms often, but I want to understand both so as to prevent any misunderstanding should any of these terms be used here or elsewhere in communication.

Re: Re: Pentax 67 resolution compared to 15 MP Digital
From: Jens Thank you all for you rinterest in responding and answering my question. I have done some samll tests, that didin't turn out too well. But I was using old film and a questionable lab for developing. My result is shown at flickr. I photographed a sitting girl (in full figure) filling out the frame with my K-7 and with my 67. I enlarged one eye to be able to evaluate the resolution and sharpness: K-7: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/5204650099/in/set-72157625461434140/ 67: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/5204621235/in/set-72157625461434140/ In my small, not too well done ,test it seems that the K-7 is doing rather well. In order to convince myself, that I should keep on using the 67 (insted of selling it) I need results that show, that the 67 delivers reslults that are superior to those of the K-7. You're losing quality scanning the negative. Don't blame the negative for problems due to the fairly low resolution scan. The Epson 3200 doesn't deliver sharp results scanning negatives. That's not what it's designed for. It does remarkably well all things considered, but it's not the best tool for the job if you need high quality, high resolution scans from your negatives. At best it's a tool for identifying those negatives that might yield good results from high resolution scans. Try shooting the K7 through a pair of pantyhose. That will impose a handicap on its resolution comparable to what the scans impose on your 67 negatives. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

The lens was the 300/4 and the stop was f32, because a lot of depth of field was required here. There was some low lying fog in the vicinity as well. So it's not the sharpest 6x7 neg you'll ever see, but the scan comparison is very revealing. Know too, that I had been scanning 6x7 negs with the 3200 for quite a while at this point, And I was very careful to eliminate negative curl and worked hard to get the best scan possible. The samples here are 100% crops from the digital files. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=12180230 Here's the full image from the Imacon scan. It's been seen here before. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5416945size=lg Paul -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Re: Pentax 67 resolution compared to 15 MP Digital
2011/1/2 Jens p...@planfoto.dk: They still make imacon scanners (I believe they were Danish actually)? Jens The Imacon scanners are now sold as Hasselblad Flextight scanners. They're more expensive than a Pentax 645D by good margin. I'm sure the Pentax 67 is a wonderful tool for acquiring images. I frequently miss shooting with the 645Nii, but never get around to actually loading it with film. I remember I tried to consider the cost of the Pentax *istD against my expenses for film an processing, and concluded that I could buy a new digital SLR every third year for the amount of money I spent on the gelatine. And that didn't include the cost of scanning. I just did a quick look around the web for prices on film and processing in Norway. I used to shoot Provia a lot, so that's what I looked for. Assuming 10 exposures per 120mm film, I arrived at a cost of NOK 14,70 per exposure (film and E6 processing), from http://www.scandinavianphoto.no/ It was a bit more challenging to find services for scanning of 120mm film, but what I found was pretty scary. NOK 230,- for a raw scan of _one_ image. Price more than doubled for the pro treatment, including digital dust removal: http://www.farvelabben.no/filmscanning.html Excluding scanning, a Pentax 645D would break even with film cost at roughly 5800 exposures. I hope for your sake the Danish market has less hostile prices... :-) Of course there are loads of other factors to consider, such as time spent in workflow, cost of auxillary hardware (computers, archivning, etc.) and expected time to obsolence, but It could be worth doing, Jens.

The finer (i.e., the more closely spaced the lines) the system can resolve, the better the resolution of the system. Acutance refers to the abruptness of an edge.

Re: Vivian Maier, a street photographer discovered
I discovered Vivian's work back in March and started writing a post about her. Her work really touched me and I contacted John Maloof (the guy who found her negatives) to arrange an interview during my visit to Chicago for the PDML exhibit. Sadly (for me) Mr Maloof declined my invitation on the grounds that he was preparing a book and couldn't say anything more than what was on his blog: http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com I never finished that post. I'm glad to see others appreciating her work as much as I do. I won't be able to attend the exhibit in Chicago, but maybe they'll get it to travel the US. At least I hope so!

The difference in how I use the terms is that resolution can be calculated or observed while acutance can only be observed. Because of that, includes all the notions of edge contrast, acuteness, etc that have been mentioned. Neither is necessarily theoretical, but anything calculated can be theoretical depending upon the premises of the calculations. Can we milk this for a new pun thread???
