I nearly wrote this piece over a year ago when I noticed that a particular image I had uploaded to my site had very wrong skintones. I kept quiet in the end because I am well aware that 99.9% of colour management issues are user error or bad profiles, but since bad profiles are not the problem here because sRGB is a standard, that left only me.

I'm not interested in reviewing software, but today I'm making an exception. What's a PITA that photographers deal with every day, sending digital images around the net by email? » read more | 2 comments
More in the Gigapixl Project vein, a fairly amazing zoomable composite of Machu Piccu by Scott Howard. All done by stitching together 404 separate Canon 10d images to form a single 13.5GB original file. Amazing. Here's an interesting thing. This colour image was printed in ... 1939. The best part of a lifetime ago.
If you have found this page you are probably looking for the filmscanner reviews and information that I used to maintain at www.halftone.co.uk. I regret this has now all been removed. It was hopelessly out of date and only referred to obsolete scanners. I became unable to continue reviews several years ago due to the large amount of work involved. It was taking several days every time a new scanner appeared, and simply became too much. I do not intend reinstating the old pages. You should however be able to find much of the old content using the Wayback machine web archive. Vuescan 64-bit scanner driverAn updated scanners.inf for Vuescan 8.3.49 - useful only for users trying to get filmscanners working under 64-bit versions of Windows without manufacturer's drivers installed.  |
