Make up a couple of layers that blend about 50% opacity wise for colour. In
the first one, chop out the whale and make the whole layer into a filter
that gets the background colour right. In the second one chop out all
except the whale and do the same thing.
Sounds hard if you've never done it.
Well I dunno. I thought the dregs of the filmscanner market was the
Tamarack 2400 aka Jenoptik. I bought one a while ago from an outfit in Aus
who tried to talk me out of it (I took it on a discounted no-recourse
basis). It was actually reasonably OK till it sheared a gear in the
filmholder drive
Always gives you guys something to laugh about when a ignoramus dives in. I
have an engineering PhD as well but it's in Chem Eng from the 70's which I
guess makes my opinion worth as much that of the average taxi driver.
I had an Agfa 1680 for a while. 1.3 MP CCD and some fancy interpolation
A production system, in this context, is a mission-critical system, without
which the business cannot operate, not even on a short-term basis. In other
words, a failure of this system is a failure of the company or business as a
whole--it is a loss-of-life failure, for the business.

Sigh. Filters are of course a personal decision and we all have them. I've
always felt capable of running my own killfile and don't quite understand
why anyone else needs to tell me what should be in it. I guess Robert has

As I've stated, you just don't know what you're talking about, and arguing

So stop wasting it Austin. Do the killfile thing. We're all getting worried

I'm running into people who earnestly tell me that the better grade

I'm actually a happy user of an HP S20 for 35mm and a Kodak FD300 for APS

here have said that sales folk have started going on about how the better

I've come into this one late and may be repeating what someone has already
said. Delphi forums are good too. I read the Kiev report for other silly

If you put in INTRODUCTION as the code you get to buy the non-Pro version
