I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to post this, but it seemed the easiest option. My name is Daniel Silverstone and I am very sad to have to let you all know that my father, Norman, (whose account this is) passed away on Sunday April 1st. I know that this forum brought a significant...

I have scanned lots of slides that I have bought from a well known source and, from time to time, published a result but I have never put my name to the resulting image because I thought this was illegal. Am I correct in my supposition?

I have used a contraption which could be fixed to a digital camera for 35mm slide and negative copying. The only problem is that to get a reasonable sized copy it was necessary to use additional lenses which were supplied and were single meniscus. This caused quite a lot of chromatic aberration...

The quickest and surest way to get an answer to scanning problems using ViewScan is to email the question to ViewScan. This is what I do and have done for several years.

Jeremy, if you want any further information, send me a PM.

Images can be stacked in Affinity Photo, I have done it a number of times.

I think I will wait until the price comes down, as it surely will. Forget the hardback version and eventually, if there are enough Affinity Photo users to make it worthwhile, a softback version will probably follow. So far, with the help of the videos and the Affinity forums, I have been able to...

Thanks Kris, I am interested in black & white so it looks like the 720 to go for. I have noticed that there are filters for sale that claim to cover a range of IR perhaps it might be worth trying one of those.

Thank you, Chris, you have been most helpful. Do you have any particular views on which wave length to go for?

I realise that there are a number of ways of dealing with the camera but what about dealing with the source of the infra red radiation? Outside it seems a good sunny day is needed but inside, where there is no sun, there is a suggestion that a flash gun may be the answer. Has anyone any...

Very interesting, Gareth, I had considered several possibilities including LEDs but never thought about flash. Must have a look at some technical information.

David, I am not offended and do enjoy your joke. I am housebound not through an illness, fortunately, it is simple getting elderly.

Toni, its great being able to take landscapes and so forth but I am unable to get outside in the sunshine which is why I am interested in using IR in the house. Do you think that it is possible to do so and how could it work?

Perhaps I am a little confused but surely the milky way radiates IR not reflects it. This is what I am trying to get my head round, how many objects in the home reflect IR?

Has anyone tried IR in the home such as table top or macro photography, If not, what would limit the possibility of doing this?
