I believe some users say they get usable Vuescanned images straight off their scanners, without much tweaking in Photoshop. I've certainly had some excellent results direct from VS. I'm by no means a professional photographer; the following examples are holiday shots, all taken with a

I doubt that's a hair on or near the lens. Although you used a wide angle lens, I'd be very surprised it could focus that close to the lens or even a filter ring. I just used a normal lens (the one that came as standard on the Canon). I don't have any extra lenses yet, although I want to

Hi Mark, If it is a normal lens I can almost absolutely state it was not on the lens. There is no way a normal (45-55mm) lens can focus at the lens surface. I assume this Canon 300 is an SLR with exchangeable lenses, Your explanation pretty much clinches it. It was a hair stuck between the

Interesting review for printing from digital cameras. Too bad they only used lower resolution images than the ones common on this list. There's a lot of resampling, sharpening, interpolation, etc. going on in the print drivers when the best source is a 2000x3000 that was already interpolated in

Just as a final thought, I don't even think the hair could have been on the back surface of the lens, as that too would not be in correct focus at the film plane. Art Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL

But the Sony is very fuzzy (even at only 1280 x 1024) while the Mitsubishi is very sharp even at 1920 x 1440 (the highest my card goes). I've had similar observations. I don't know what happened to Sony. Their monitors used to be among the best.

Yes, Wilhelm rates the Canon Photo Paper Pro at 25+ years. This is not as good as Epson's Archival inks and papers as used on the Epson 2000P, but it is better than the Epson 1280, which is only rated for 25 years using matte paper. The glossy Photo Paper for the 1280 is rated at about 7-8

The one fundamental thing on choosing a monitor is to buy the demo g ( or at least have the seller hook up the one he is proposing to sell you, so you can see the images for yourself). They DO vary from sample to sample. You want to check a sharp image, and also a screenful of text, at a small
