Thanks, Attila, if you can't shoot slide, Portra is the next best thing in
color--for me, anyway. Wink

Terrific shots, but on my monitor they look a little saturated/contrasty?

Patrick, I certainly don't expect you to adjust your monitor for my little
images! Laughing They pretty much came out this way, had to do some color
adjust in some of these that were in strong sun, or blotchy sunlight. No
saturation was added, but maybe should have turned it down when I
ran the scans thru Bibble.

Patrick has right contrast was to much for example on cat.

Yeah, I'm not altogether happy about the cat or the first one. The yellow
was lit up by the sun, like it glowed when I took the shot. I like the last
one just the way it is.

I like the last one Bill but I love the first one.

I love the first one (you nailed the yellows) and the last one - dreamy. Attila was right about the cat and I thought overall contrast was more than I would have done - but it may well be a characteristic of the film or the process. BTW - I use Bibble and it gives a lot of control over all these elements, especially with some of Puckett's plugins. Have u tried B5 yet?

Thanks Ron and Patrick, I toned down the yellow a tad in the first and had
to do some SERIOUS adjustment to contrast and saturation, something
like -20 on both in the cat pic. Shocked

I am not so much a flower person, but they are all great.

#4 is it for me. Love how you play with the shadow.

Thanks, bawang, I'm not really a flower person either, but it's something
to shoot at! Laughing

The yellow flower is just about perfect now, the buttons were not as dark
as in the first version, but were bleached a little by the sun.

More than the film, I think it's the camera/lens or just the lens that gives
such saturation and contrast. I didn't encounter this when using the Koni
Rapid Omega. Is B5 indeed out now? I have a free upgrade if it is. I use
Bibble for all my film scans, can't live without it.

Can see the zeiss in the photos. I like #1 & #5.

Bibble5 is in pre-production testing. Full one should be out in a month or two or three. So far looks very good, but I cannot live without the Puckett plugins Embarassed Embarassed
