As per Steve's announcement, we will transfer digital files to transparencies via film recorder for SCCC members. There will be no charge for the transfer as a group providing that the images are 'transfer ready' tiff files. This will work only if we are able to obtain enough images to share in the cost of the film and processing. The estimate is between 50 cents to one dollar per finished slide.
The first collection will be made at the first October meeting. Use the following information to prepare your digital file and provide on cd in tiff format:
35mm aspect ratio is 3:2
Save your tiff image in horizontal format only(if it is a vertical you turn the slide)
The size must be 4096 x 2732 pixels. (ignore the measurements-only pixels count!)
(8192 x 5464 is available upon special request if you have a high quality original)
120 film and processing will be considerably higher, but if there is interest we can also do that. The image must be prepared in a seperate file using the following:
6x6 2 1/4 square:
6087 x 6087 pixels
645 6 x 4.5:
6087x4800
Film will be fine grain Fuji Velvia. I suggest that on your first attempt, you may wish to include a skin tone photograph including a grey card and color scale. You may then save your original file to determine what changes you would make to improve/change the density/color. If your monitor is not calibrated, your results may not match what you see. If you then make the same adjustments to future exposures you will obtain what you expect.
