By weird colours I mean a cast. Looked greenish if I remember

ive used 50d. I didnt like it. I had it processed in ECN 2 and have also done a roll in c41. Both were pretty soft and had weird colours. Personally I think they are intended for colour grading. I might be wrong but the results I got looked nothing like other peoples Ive seen, Portra looks...

368 deaths out of 109812 is nothing in the grand scheme of things

Its probably been spoken about on here before but is there any advantage using uncompressed vs lossless compressed? The file size is double so surely there has to be an advantage but based on my very quick google search I dont see any benefits

Nik and trick are pretty good. They sell chemicals by Bellini that make they’re own cheaper versions of Ilford and Kodak chemicals. I think the smallest amounts are still 500ml but they’re fixer is £6 for 500ml. They also sell light seal kits for a lot of different cameras

Lol I will keep it in mind if it doesn’t go. I need to sell something first. That or convince the other half that what I intend to sell will get what I hope and buy one first!!

What is a good price for a used XT2? I’m looking at switching to Fuji

Capture 1 express can only export to a folder, whereas Lightroom can do that but can also be linked to a Flickr account as well as a few others. As for importing you just drag photos or folders and a separate tab appears on the left with the date of import for those photos. I’ve only messed...

Capture 1 express is really good but it doesn’t have local adjustments like the brush, graduated or radial filter. For general stuff I prefer it to Lightroom though

Oh really?? I’ll have to look. I don’t usually sharpen digital and as I’m usually already in photoshop when I remove dust from film i just do it there

I prefer using the high pass filter in photoshop to sharpen film. Niks sharpen software looks very similar. Like the high pass filter it’s subtle enough that it doesn’t “look sharpened”, to me anyway

Maybe because the sun is usually lower in the sky? Like at sunset and dusk

Would if I could :(

same, I was looking at the Xe series first!

Lol I’ll have a look. It seems to be selling for £300 more though!
