Re: Look at these photos I restored with darktable... cool!

2016-01-28 Thread Mark Phillips
Mike,

You might find this helpful - http://www.scantips.com/basics01.html.

16 bit color depth means that the scanner is using 16 bits for each color
when it digitizes an image. Each pixel would have 2^16 x 2^16 x 2^16
possible color options.

16 bits/color means 2^16 or 65,536 shades of each color (red, blue, green)
8 bits/color mean 2^8 or 256 shades of each color (red, blue, green), or
each pixel can be painted with a color from a palette of 1.6 million colors
(2^8 x 2^8 x 2^8)

Most of the time all you need is 8 bits per color for a total of 24 bits of
color per pixel.

Mark

Re: printer opinions

2016-01-28 Thread Victor Odhner
I’m happy with our old HP OfficeJet 550. Its paper tray is big enough for a lot 
of copies, its four ink tanks have a long lifetime, and it prints pretty fast. 
It was sold to me as an alternative to a laser printer, and I think we’ve done 
well with it.

We’ll see how it does with the cheaper ink from Cartridge World. :)

I wouldn't recommend to most people to get the same printer I have unless they 
have a heavy print load.  I just used it as a good example of how a more 
expensive printer and quickly pay for itself.  It would take $450 worth of 
toner in a 2000 page yield printer to equal one of my $59 cartridges and my 
printer is made much better, so it will last longer too but like I said, it 
doesn't make much sense if you print so seldom that you only put 1 or 2 
cartridges in the printer before you throw it away and get a new one. (perhaps 
because your new computer doesn't have a parallel port on it any more)
