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 &...

Thank you, I tried to get pictures of how I saw it rather than what I had seen on google. I took a chance going at the start of November, I lucked in with the weather, 21 pretty much all the time and only an hour or two of occasional cloud, other than that very sunny and just the right...

Travel

Hi all, I just finished sorting my holiday pictures from a recent solo trip to Rome and created a blog post for them. If you have a few minutes to spare please check it out, hopefully it all works ok. http://benleephotography.co.uk/holiday/rome-2016/ A couple of example shots

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.
