    Multifunction printer-scanners as good as dedicated scanners?

    Do you own a digital camera? As a professional photographer I purchased a very expensive scanner many years ago. I no longer use it. I replaced it with a digital camera. Better results and quicker to use.

    Using Mismatched hardware for effect

    I should add that the Super 6K HS scans at 216 Mega Pixels without interpolation and in the case of panos without stitching. These large high resolution files allow for big beautiful prints. This is a copy rig which employs a Large format 8x10 inch lens.

    Printing, Coating, Stretching Canvas

    Early printable canvas [1996-2004] relied upon a gelatine based permeable inkjet receptor coating. This coating printed well and was quite flexible, however, it was easily damaged by water. Therefore it required a solvent based topcoat for protection. Several coats were needed, and even...

    Printing, Coating, Stretching Canvas

    Hey folks, I have printed, coated, and stretched many many canvas's over the years. I have lots and lots of experience and tips. If anyone has questions ask away. 1st is a picture of a custom made cedar stretcher that Gerald Walker makes. He has an ingenious approach to hiding the excess...

    The scan back uses both "Line Time"and "ISO" to adjust exposure. Useful line times are 1/8 ---1/240. It correlates as 8 lines per second through to 240 lines per second. Large Format lenses have a typical slow f:5.6 or f:8 lens opening. This is one of the reasons I chose the Medium Format...

    Using Mismatched hardware for effect

    BTW This image is 300dpi x 7 feet long I would label this as a [false colour] infrared image The cyan-blue-green filter is an infrared filter used to bring the sensor response in line with human vision. When a scan is made without the IR filter the scan then becomes an infrared image. In the...

    And the image The Super 6 K HS fits into the [large format] camera under the ground glass very much like a 4x5 film cassette. The difference is that the scanning back scans much like a miniature flat bed scanner instead of an quick exposure on a piece of film. The round image was made with a...

    Using Mismatched hardware for effect

    I pupose-built a camera from mismatched hardware to get specific and unique results. The rig is built around a Betterlight Super 6KHS trilinear sensor with a 72x96 mm capture area. This is slightly smaller than the legacy 4x5 inch or 101x127mm film format. Lenses throw a circular image...

    Colormunki Photo repair

    I am either doing something wrong, or my version of OS and i1 works differently.

    Colormunki Photo repair

    The i1 software does not see the Munki for registration but it can use the Munki for calibration. One must simply put up with the registration prompt popping up every time the software is started up.

    Colormunki Photo repair

    I use the Colormunki software on some of my clients monitors so they can get a better idea of what the images should look like. On my computers I use ColorEyes Display and it works fine with any of these 10 devices: In my world I do not totally rely on the screen for adjustments. In fine art...

    Colormunki Photo repair

    I have some confusion. If it doesn't detect the Colormunki for registration does the device still work and make profiles? v1.5.0 is actually v1.1.2 ? Also the supported OS X are [10.12 / 10.13 / 10.14] and I am running [10.10.5]. Here is a screen capture from the download site. My...

    Colormunki Photo repair

    Thank you @Feri. In this case if it is broke then fix it ! X Rite supports and does not support in the same breath. They would not repair my unit at all - they only wanted to sell me a new one. All it would have taken was a $1 part and maybe 15 minutes of their time. It took me longer the 1st...
