Re: Fuji axes more films

If you're looking to buy, I have an RSW in excellent nick which I could be tempted into selling....

Re: Fuji axes more films

That sounds a little more hopeful, at least. Time will tell who's right, I guess.

Re: Film holder management

It doesn't strike me as a big issue. If a holder is empty, and you're away on a trip, simply store it in your normal luggage - i.e. away from your camera bag. If you only ever have loaded holders with your camera then you only need to keep track of exposed/unexposed sheets. Plus it avoids carrying u...

For some reason when they are scanned (possibly due to Tim observations about the nature of the noise) transparencies appear to suffer less from grain (or grain aliasing). This is true but there is a big difference between pixel-peeping a 2000+ SPI scan at 100% on an LCD monitor and what appears in...

Re: Why E6 over C-41?

I use Fuji NPS when I need the extra dynamic range or a higher shutter speed.

Re: Slide Show software for Mac

PhotoToExe looks good but it seems you'll still need a PC to actually create the slideshow, although slideshows made with the software are apparently Mac-compatible.

Re: Slide Show software for Mac

In that case, what about Apple's Keynote? It's part of the iWork suite.

Re: Slide Show software for Mac

Well, there are loads - if a straight slideshow is all you want. The latest versions of the built-in Preview application has a slideshow option and then there's GraphicConverter (usually comes with the OS), or Adobe Bridge which is usually bundled with Photoshop. Not forgetting iPhoto or Aperture or...

Re: Why?

Yes, yes, yes but not standalone and yes. In that order. :D

Check out a Photoshop filter called 'ColorNeg'. Sorry, I've lost the link I had but I expect Tim P. will be along soon to tell you more... :wink:
