Re: I learned something about my scanner today
The best way to scan with VueScan, for me anyway, is to output to its raw format, encapsulating the raw files as DNG. ALL of the inversions (for negs), color balances, gamma correction, etc, I do in Lightroom. I built a couple of custom profiles to do the heavy lifting with Adobe DNG Profile Creator. The scanner is just acquiring the data, everything else is up to me. :-) G On Feb 24, 2014, at 8:06 PM, David Mann dmann...@gmail.com wrote: On Feb 25, 2014, at 3:19 pm, steve harley p...@paper-ape.com wrote: not certain from your description, but if VueScan works with this scanner, it's possible it could give you a more efficient workflow - might be worth a shot with the demo I knew someone would recommend that. I tried the demo version again a few months ago and just ended up hating it again. Just couldn't get good results, the colours were all over the place and I wasn't able to easily correct them in Photoshop. It was a shame as I'd have been able to do my scanning using my Macbook Pro, which I can't with the Minolta software. It's PPC or Windows only, and Virtualbox doesn't support Firewire. For most slides the Minolta software is very efficient anyway, it's only this weird case I've just come across after about 8 or 9 years of owning it. Before now I don't think I've ever applied a negative exposure setting.

Re: GESO: Michigan winter scenes
Thanks Jack and Paul for the comments. It was a fun trip and I timed it just right: warmer weather there, heavy snowfall here. BTW, I think it is supposed to be Eben Ice Caves, not Eden Ice Caves. Oh well. stan On Feb 23, 2014, at 11:16 PM, Jack Davis jdavi...@yahoo.com wrote: Some dramatic icicles and frozen falls. #13 thru 17 are particularly interesting.

So I went to Munising along Lake Superior in the Michigan Upper Peninsula Monday with a stop at Taquamanon Falls on the way. Tuesday I went by a few familiar places (Wagner Falls, Au Train Falls, Scott Falls) which I had previously shot in the summer and/or fall. Plus I went to the Rock River Canyon Ice Caves aka the Eden Ice Caves. A bit west of Chatham to Eden, then a couple of miles north and a mile hike in. Wednesday I went back by Wagner, back to Eden Ice Caves, then home with a side trip to Grand Marais. Here is a link to a selection of shots from the trip: http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p906193763/e1b89b999 Some of the ice photos are focus-stacked, and there is one obvious HDR just for fun. But most of these are straight shots without much post-processing besides color balance. Shot with K-3 and either the HD DA 20-40/2.8-4.0 ED Limited DC WR (aka 20-40mm) or the DA* 50-135/2.8 ED [IF] SDM (aka 50–135/2.8) Comments and critique welcome but I may or may not have a chance to respond - headed to Israel this Wednesday for a couple of weeks to collect on some glasses of beer Boris owes me.

Re: I learned something about my scanner today
I use vuescan. Once you create a workflow and calibrate colors properly things are easy. That you can scan into a DNG is very, very useful indeed. You can shoot a 25 color target with film, scan it, and then create a profile around that. It won't be the most accurate profile ever, but it will probably be good enough for non-reproduction work. The color workflow options in vuescan are very poorly laid out, but there's nothing else like it. How to adjust color and whatnot within vuescan itself is still very much a mystery to me. I find it better to just profile and take raw results off the scanner. I have an Epson that has a failing CCD element that makes nice lines through all the scans. At high res in vuescan they somehow disappear. It might have a noise reduction method, but it makes an otherwise useless scanner still very usable. I have not had much experience with scanning film with vuescan nor have I had much of a chance to test it out. I mostly scan small paintings and drawings and stitch if needed. The epson v500 I have has proven to be a workhorse that has mostly accurate colors once you remove the slight green cast. Profiling does wonders. A friend just developed a roll I gave to him a year ago, so I will be scanning some BW with it. I have use the epson software to scan film, but it doesn't get colors right at all and they take some massaging and guesswork sometimes. I will try some slide film with vuescan as soon as I get my rolls developed. Its an amazing piece of software once you work it out. There's not much I wish it would do other than ICE. ICE is probably the reason I still use the epson software when it comes to film.

Re: I learned something about my scanner today
I'm still convinced that unless you want to spring for a drum scanner the epson v700 is probably your best bang for the buck when it comes to scanning film. the nice thing about slide film is that its in a holder generally, so you just drop it on the glass. larger negs are problematic because of the Newtonian rings. also their 35mm holders truly suck and do little to flatten the film or hold it off of the glass. this is where drum scanning shines. i've considered setting up a bellows rig to scan film with a dslr, but I still think that scanning with a flatbed is superior for quality by far, but certainly more time consuming.

I have learned but I keep forgetting that it is a good idea to have extra leans cleaners or a small bottle of cleaner to clean the glass from small hands. Not a bad idea, but the hands were on the aquarium glass, not my lens. I certainly wouldn't allow that. Heh. Marnie In a message dated 2/25/2014 5:57:13 P.M.

Re: PESO - Toronto's Ice Queen
The go pro belonged to someone else. She was just lending Tommy Toast her helmet space for the final race. Speaking of Tommy he's one of the biggest characters among ex-messengers. I've got a portrait of him from the race. :-) Thanks Bruce and Dan. Linda is a cutie, that's for sure. Damned good cyclist, too. Wins mountain bike races all summer long. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks as well to all who looked.

PESO - Tommy Toast
One of the original Toronto Messengers from the 80's, Tommy Toast still shows up to courier and cycling events. To say he's a character is an understatement. Here he is at last weekend's Ice Race: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2014/02/tommy-toast.html?m=1 Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.
