I assume this image is on negative film, because if it is on slide film, the detail is gone forever if it isn't visible on the film. If it is on neg, your detail is probably there, but the overexposure of the whites makes for a very dense area on the neg. You need to expose for those areas

Well, here's a rave review of 400F. I'm totally overwhelmed by this film. It's got good colour fidelity, natural saturation, moderate contrast, fine grain - it's the best 400 speed colour film out there IMO. It frankly doesn't come up that short in comparison to 100F, either. Also IMO it's

I expect to spring for the Nikon IV soon, but Nikon's specs stipulate Win98SE as a minimum. I'm currently using Win95B, but own an upgrade disk for Win98. My system is a 266 MHZ PII with 384 MB RAM and 2 USB ports. The question is: does anyone have experience using the Nikon IV with Win98?

RE: filmscanners: Supra 400 shadows

2001-08-03 Thread Paul Chefurka
Ah-hah! That makes perfect sense. The speckles are too bright and pure to come from the film itself. It's reasonable to assume they're an electronic artifact, and aliasing is the likely culprit. That also explains why boosting the black point will reduce them but not eliminate them.
