Re: What do forum folks use most for image capture?

2005-04-23 by Clayton Jones

Hello Scott,

I'm like Paul, got an 8mp Canon Pro-1, smaller sensor than the 350T or
20D, but still was amazed at the quality resulting from no film grain.
 The lens quality is a major factor.  8mp is a lot of info capture
ability, and the lens has to deliver or you get mush.

I print from 4x5 to 11x14.


>what's going on prior to editting and printing the digital image.

I do RAW conversion using the Canon software, Color to BW conversion
in PS CS using ChMix+HueSat, and print on matte paper with a 2200,
mostly Eboni-BO, with some work in UTx3 (a modified UT7), and also now
experimenting with Steve K's 2K technique.


Regards,
Clayton
