Subject: Nathan's PAD 24/10/2008: a rare film image


Occasionally, I put a roll in my Bronica 645 and go back to the roots. I did
that a couple of weeks ago, and got the processed film back this week.
Yesterday I finally had time to do the scanning and Photoshopping.

Incidentally, I used to scan MF film at a resolution of 3200 ppi on my Epson
V700. This time, just to test my iMac, I decided to go whole hog, and
scanned the film at the maximum optical resolution of the scanner, i.e. 6400
ppi. This resulted in each image being about 250 MB. I opened Photoshop CS3
and opened all 16 images at once. I expected the thing to be slow as
molasses, but no--I guess partly thanks to having 4 GB of RAM, my iMac
positively zipped through the levels adjustments, spotting and sharpening
that I did on each image. Pretty impressive.
