Re: vertical lines on B/W scans

<r>Seems like you could prove it was moire by rescanning with some rotation, which should change the separation between bands of gray. You should get the least moire effect by scanning the original exactly perpendicular to the original’s scan, so you could try rotating the scan by 90 degrees. Anothe...

Re: Adjust color to compensate for 2700K

<r>I think it was Dr. Edwin Land who proved you could reconstruct color of an image with two illumination frequencies, so if the scene was lit by bulbs with two sufficiently different (but still each monochrome and within the sensitivity of the sensor) frequencies, then there is color to be had. Sum...

Re: Adjust color to compensate for 2700K

<r>Addendum:The sodium vapor lamp illumination is so monochromatic that the only color in your image is yellow. It's either yellow or it's dark.The yellow is not just a color-cast, like you get from incandescent lighting, it's the only light. So, there is no way to find other colors in the image, an...

Re: Adjust color to compensate for 2700K

<r>That’s good advice. One might also try a sepia tone filter, which we old-timers used to use to make B&W prints look more natural. Al“ No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else. ”-- Charles Dickens On May 21, 2016, at 9:32 AM, Tony Jackson <EMAIL email="tony...

Re: Enlarging

<r>Peter,Hagen is absolutely correct, but if you found a satisfying solution to your enlargement problem, note that your solution does not give you the same quality in a larger size. At least, not in the terms photographers and layout people use. What you have is a larger area covered by the same im...

Re: Geotagging then saving without conversion [1 Attachment]

<r>Matti,I hope this isn’t just my misinterpretation of your problem statement, but it seems to me that replacing a period with a comma has to make an incorrect conversion from decimal degrees to something like integer degrees and weirdly huge numbers of minutes. I don’t work with this feature of GC...

Re: Cropped images double in size - why?

<r>There can be another reason why any file saved by GC is larger than the original: saving the resource fork along with the original file info. That’s another of those many options. And, you can make any file smaller by NOT including the EXIF data, but not by much. Entropy isn't what it used to beE...

Re: Cropped images double in size - why?

<r>Judy,You haven’t mentioned a crucial factor in your operation, which is the resolution of the files. Cropping removes parts of the original image, which does leave less image. However, if you then save the cropped image at a higher resolution than the original, the saved file will be larger. It w...
