The layout of the index page has also been completely overhauled and now offers frames. And... I have added some images on the recent Leica Akademie Seminar in English language and the very cosy city of Wetzlar. These sections are not final as I am still awaiting development of some more films. I'll also notify the group when these sections have become final. On a technical note: the slides/negatives were scanned with the Nikon Super Coolscan LS-2000 film scanner at highest resolution using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and the NikonScan 2.1 plug-in on my Macintosh. I did not touch them up with Photoshop (the ICE dust and scratches removal mechanism in the Nikon scanner is fantastic). They were then converted to JPEG's (quality 5 setting) at 150 dpi and 10 cm size for the longest side (depending on portrait or landscape format). Finally, in order to reduce them even more and to speed up download times, I have optimized them through Adobe ImageReady 1.0 which does this job automatically (you can preview the difference at different quality settings). If anyone of you wants a scan of an image of the Wetzlar/Leica Akademie sections at the full resolution size offered by the Nikon scanner, let me know.
