Hi Ritchie, Photos on my site are scanned from negs, scanned 8x10 prints, digital file, or digital pic of a print.
I've been to the Friday 13th event in Port Dover a few times over the years. It's changing and becoming too diluted with tourist gawkers. While I'd love to meet up, SW Ontario is a bit far over very boring roads to get there. For day rides, I tend to head east and north of where I am. But maybe we could arrange something; I'd love to here more about your big ride.
I've moved this thread to the introduction area. I think we have the five post minimum to keep spam bots at bay, but looks like you've found a warm welcome here!
No website. I am in the process of digitizing my work, but have a dilemma to face; most of my finished prints are on 11x14 or 16x20 paper. They usually have a wide margin and are difficult to scan on my V700. I can scan my negatives and slides easily enough, but then have to dodge/burn in PS to make them look near as good as the prints. Alternately I can remove scanner lid, scan print in sections and then stitch and adjust densities to match- again, a lot of work.
How do you do it?
I was going to attach a few samples here, but I note that there is a 1.2 meg limit on jpg's. Will need to re-size as all mine are larger files.
"Free software from Microsoft".
And as this is relevant to how to upload images for the APUG gallery, this "digital" subject is actually acceptable for this site!
Sorry, I avoid Microsoft like the plague! I can stitch images in PS.
I was wondering about the digital uploads myself, but then again, we wouldn't be having this discussion were it not for digital technology. I use digital tech all the time, just prefer film for imaging and silver halide paper for printing. Although I'm officially 'retired' I still do film scanning for a camera shop, plus digital photo restorations and film scans for general public, from my home. Decades of b&w and colour printing gave me a head start in the digital era.
