RE: Future of Photography (was RE: filmscanners: real value?)
HI, Michael!
I'm glad that you are having good luck with your scan back! It is a cool
idea to be able to preview your image and correct the lighting if necessary!
I certainly envy the lack of spotting! I spend WAY too much time with the
cloning tool in my "hand".
Your other points are also well taken. I doubt you'd be able to take a
(usable) picture of a living model, though. It'd be kind of like a return
to the daugerreotype days of long exposures and props to "prop up" the
model!
As I admitted in an earlier post, I miscalculated the filesize vs resolution
ratio in yesterday's posts, so I am suitably chastised! (good thing I'm not
designing bridges!!!)

Clark,
I can honestly say that my scan back,still subjects only, produces far
superior digital images to those made from trannies on either my
flatbed or my drum scanner.
1. There is NO noise anywhere , either in deep shadow or highlights.
2.The capture software is essentiality scanning software and has an out
of gamut warning.
when I preview an image I get a visible colour blocking in those areas
of the image which are over or under exposed.I then adjust lighting and
exposure until it is correct.
I also do a grey balance before capture so no colour correcting after.
3. No spotting needed,images are Clean.
4.I always capture without using unsharp mask,it just is not needed.Ill
apply it in Photoshop if required when I know the images destination.
5. Absolutely NO Newton's rings.
6. No chemical mixing and processing (yippee)
here endeth my sermon

I don't believe that a good 4x5" transparency scanned at 1200 dpi
: on a flat bed would be any worse than what would come off of that 4x5
