Thanks, I get it now and I agree with the above. I had a chat with someone over at X-Rite. They said I would be best using the Native mode (calibrated) for everything given my work streams. Native is the maximum that the monitor can do, which in my case is 99% aRGB. When I export I will check...

Thanks @droj but I'm still confused. I'm thinking I should be doing the following, but would like conformation or a pointer as to where I should change my work flow. For digital – Shoot RAW, Edit in Native monitor mode, export for printing and web use sRGB (using soft proof). For film – scan...

Hi There, I'm getting a bit confused and I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a Dell 2713H monitor, an X-Rite i1 and the Dell UltraSharp calibration solution tool installed on the computer. The monitor has several modes and I don't know which one(s) I should be using for editing (Lightroom &...

I ran a few tests, I thought that maybe scanning the negative frame might skew the reading but I don't think it does. I also compared the default range of 20-245 to my usual setting of 0-255, at the end I switched from a standard profile to the ektar profile. The ektar definitely brings out the...

I didn't think the camera would have an effect but I thought I best check just in case I was missing something blatant. The scanner I'm using is a Screen Cezanne Elite, I turn off all settings and only use the embedded profile for Ektar 100. I did look at getting a scanning profile for negative...

HI there, I'm wondering if someone can enlighten me. I recently shot some Ektar 100 with an Xpan and after scanning the negatives it seems that some have a funny tint (yellowish) which can be improved if I adjust the white balance in Lightroom. Can this be caused by cameras metering? I have...

A 5D Mark 3 and a Fuji X100

Just wanted to say how happy I am with the turnaround from Peak Imaging. I stuck a load of film in the post Tuesday dinner time and just got the processed negatives back this afternoon (Thursday). A very slick process and a reminder that when the post office works it really does work. I should...

I'm not sure about the actual walk but I can easily spend a day in the Gardens alone (you have to pay to get in, of course there is also the house to explore, again you have to pay.)

Agreed, he's done a coupe of jobs for me, I would use his services again.

I used my amazon vouchers to get a few books, hopefully I get some inspiration out of them.

I saw the rack of large format frames they had in Mr Cad, scary looking but interesting.

Bad news, I went in Mr Cad today and had a play with a Pentax 67, nowhere near as bad ergonomically as I had been led to believe.

Cool, I will still buy more I can't help myself. I like the look of the M7 ticks quite a few boxes, not sure if the minimum focus distance would be an issue for me or not. How easy is it to focus?

I ended up buying an Xpan with 45 and 90mm lenses. I’m not yet sure if it was a good choice or not. I’ve only managed to stick a couple of rolls through it due to a combination of constant awful weather and work. I think that it’s going to take a bit of getting used to and I have yet to see its...
