Yes, I am going to try LEDs for the light source, but will compare the results with incandescent light. I just want to avoid the heat of the bulb in the inverted color head that I use. Maybe I gave up too soon, but I did not get acceptable results using Photoshop to color correct the reversed

Can you use Vuescan with images acquired via a camera instead of a scanner? I plan to use my Nikon D700 camera like I used to use the F3 for duplicating slides, etc. On Fri, Nov 27, 2015 at 6:49 AM, Peter Frederick via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Vuescan works well for Eastman (or

Yes, you can process images acquired from other sources. Haven't done much of that, but it can be done. Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to:

Re: [MBZ] OT: 34mm Negative Scanner - Digital ICE Rocks

Vuescan works well for Eastman (or other pre-programmed) films, but if there isn't a profile it can take quite a while to get good color. Needless to say, I have all sorts of strange films that are not on the list. The thing I like the best is the ability to control contrast, it's

I've been using VueScan on negatives exclusively. Using everything on auto has produced decent results in almost all cases, which involve several generations of Eastman Color Negative film. > -Original Message- > From: OK > Don via Mercedes > Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2015 11:24 PM

Re: [MBZ] OT: 34mm Negative Scanner - Digital ICE Rocks

I processed Ektachrome (E4) at home a few times when I was a high schooler and had a darkroom set up in the back room of our shop. I did it mainly with IR Ektachrome, as it caused the developer to expire rather quickly so the commercial processors wouldn’t process it. I knew a guy who

Re: [MBZ] OT: 34mm Negative Scanner - Digital ICE Rocks

The blue shift was processing, the pH of the color developer affects the blue/yellow balance in Kodak films (and for fun, the green/ magenta balance in Fuji films, which is why the advice one should NOT process the two on the same machine, when it was right for one the other was terrible).

I processed E-6 both in our home darkroom and at the lab at work. LOTS of it. We also still have 10-12 rolls of 35mm B IR film in the freezer. Our kids liked to play with it, then all moved away and quit photography for many years. Now Dan, the processors couldn't read the codes on that IR film

35MM? Keep them in a cool ad dry location away from light. Send them off to someone to have them scanned into electronic files for archival purposes. Ansel Dan > On Nov 25, 2015, at 2:12 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > I have a TON of Agfa slides from

Re: [MBZ] OT: 34mm Negative Scanner - Digital ICE Rocks

Scan them if you can, they fade in the dark and really go fast in the light. Keep them dry, as cool as possible (dessicated frozen is best) and hope someone cares about them when you are gone. Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

Re: [MBZ] OT: 34mm Negative Scanner - Digital ICE Rocks

Haha, my mother and I have thousands of images, many of them quite old (she started taking pictures during WWII, and started using Kodachrome in 1949). The black and white are OK, although the camera tended to leak light, so some of them are a pain, but the old Kodachromes are a real pain

What Peter said. Vuescan is great, and a real deal for the price. I haven’t found anything that works better or has more flexibility for setting up workflows with a scanner. Dad moved over the Ektachrome in the late 50s, early 60s, and the emulsion on those really took a beating from the

Re: [MBZ] OT: 34mm Negative Scanner - Digital ICE Rocks

I bought a Nikon 4000 slide scanner some years ago for a significant sum (it was used, but still expensive) to scan the 20 some odd carousel trays of slides my Dad took over his lifetime. Mom was in charge of maintaining the archive, which was a bad thing, as she kept them stored in her barn…

Re: [MBZ] OT: 34mm Negative Scanner - Digital ICE Rocks

I played around a lot with weird film stock. We had a great Kodak commercial place downtown called Hoosier Photo that had all sorts of weird stuff. I liked both the IR B and Ektachrome when I could get it. Not easy to handle, but fun to play with and some really bizarre results depending

After retirement, I planned to scan my many old negatives to digital. I have several thousand frames from the 60s through the 90s that I wanted to save. The first scanner I tried (a PlusTek 7200) worked OK but it highlighted every scratch and dust spec and I had to position each frame

Re: [MBZ] OT: 34mm Negative Scanner - Digital ICE Rocks

Very good - thanks for the review. I also have 10's of thousands, if not 100's, of negatives and transparencies that need to be digitized. However, they range from 35mm to 8X10", with a lot of 120 and some 2"x3" sheet film as well. I'm going to try to set up like I used to for duplicating slides
