Wow, where's the envy icon??? ;)

That should make @Woodsy happy, IIRC!

South Australian country cricket, 1972... Pretty sure the pitch is asphalt! Kodachrome in my Pentax Spotmatic, probably one of the Takumar 55/1.8 variants.

Wow you've really got a result there, Kevin! ISO 2!!!

Excellent! I used Mypostcard.com, which is the one used by the person who sent me the January postcard, IIRC. I think I paid $3.97. The quality of the one I received was good, better (more sturdy) than one I could print myself, and had the advantage that the recipient had a better chance of...

Yes! But they seem to be hard to find in Windowland...

I'm part of a fun postcard exchange that started, I think, from Twitter and now from Mastodon and Bluesky... but neither are necessary to take part. I probably should have posted this in the Printing forum, but most of the participants are film photographers, so I thought I'd try here and see if...

Most of my film is not well stored, but generally results are fine. I recently used a roll of Tri-X expired 2018 in my GS645S, and was rather horrified at the number of images ruined by print through. Eg this: You can clearly see these just holding the negatives up! I've had this packet since...

Ah no, perhaps I didn't explain it well. C1Pro did offer the possibility of importing the Aperture Library as a Catalogue, in the process applying whatever they thought were the equivalent adjustments (with long lists of exceptions). As you rightly imply, it didn't go well. What Aperture...

An advantage and a disadvantage of programs like Capture One Pro (and Aperture before it) is that it doesn't change your master files, but stores your adjustments in the Catalogue. That's fine of course, unless or until for some reason you need to change course and use a different program...

This does seem like it might be a good idea for those who can afford it, whether we use it just now or not. There will continue to be updates for a while at least, and if (or rather, when) they decide to take it to subscription, at least we'd have the latest version that could be used if V1...

And, nearly 3 years later, an email from Ed Hamrick this morning: "We're reaching out to you today because we've just released VueScan 9.8.31, an update that directly addresses and resolves an issue that some of our users have encountered with the OpticFilm 7500i and OpticFilm 7600i scanners...

I reckon, if we get only 4 entries again, we should only have 2 votes per voter, rather than 3. Likewise, if we got 3 entries, I'd go for 1 vote per voter...

IMHO there's a reasonable case that if you already have a cloud solution, plan b should be based on different media. Time Machine is very simple and effective; deleting a file on any device will NOT result in it being deleted from your Time Machine backup. I have a few USB-based hard drives, at...

No, and yes! Many apologies, this was meant to be in the "Show us yer pics" thread. I have no idea what went wrong, other than a severe case of anno domini.
