Sorry, but that won't work - we calibrate the machines to fixed film stocks and standardised chemistry. Everything is consistent and repeatable, it isn't much like playing around with a film camera and a processing tank to see what happens. The idea is that the negatives we produce will print in the darkroom pretty [...]
That will depend on what film we are recording to. Here are the values: 35mm slides and negatives: 4096 x 2732 pixels 6x7cm transparencies and negatives: 8192 x 6702 pixels 5"x4" transparencies and negatives: 8192 x 6732 pixels Retro-View reels: 1390 x 1260 pixels Note that these are the actual values we record at and [...]
Absolutely not. Or more accurately, not necessarily. 300dpi is a convention for images destined to be press-printed onto paper, for optimum quality. However, 300dpi on its own is meaningless - you also need to define the final printed image size. So, the very same 'high resolution' 300dpi image printed at 5"x7" magically becomes a low [...]
CMYK images are only suitable for images destined for printing purposes. Your PC, laptop, tablet and phone screens - and our film recorders and photographic film - all use RGB. RGB has the widest colour gamut (the range and depth of colours in the visible spectrum) and CMYK is very much the poor relation, and [...]
For our purposes, the bigger the image size the better the slide. Website, Instagram and Facebook images are all low resolution, for optimum slide quality we require high resolution images. Low resolution images don't produce pixelated slides, but they do produce blurred slides. Whether this matters depends on the size of projection, the distance of [...]
