I'm pretty certain I've seen that exact photo, quite a while ago?
On page 25 of the thread I had posted an initial version of this photo.
I have been scanning my 4X5 color negative film in EpsonScan to avoid some troubles I was seeing in color negative scans from Silverfast Ai. In EpsonScan, I followed the instructions to assign the ARGB color space to the image during the scan and then picked up the files in photoshop as ARGB. However, I was noticing some almost fluorescent greens were showing up in my scans which didn't seem to be there in the scan preview on EpsonScan and occasionally my white balance would get messed up. On this particular image I was never able to correct the issues out in photoshop until I discovered that EpsonScan was actually rendering the scan in the sRGB space. I assigned sRGB to the image and everything fell into place. I was never happy with the version posted on page 25.
The link to my website takes you to a page with a 720p file. Click the box above the middle of the image and a 1200p wide version will display in a second window. I don't particularly like the way Gallery 2 displays these images, but that's life.
If you're having colour issues when scanning, give Vuescan a try. While the UI is awful, the colour output is excellent. I've had a lot less colour issues since switching to Vuescan from Epson Scan and the Minolta software for my scanners.
Once I figured out that EpsonScan is not writing to adobeRGB and assigned my files to sRGB, my problems are gone. But thanks for the suggestion.
BTW, my issue with silverfast Ai was not a color problem, but with color negatives I got scans that looked like they were painted with watercolors. I get full scale gradients in EpsonScan, so I switched to that for color negative.
Ding! Portra 400 for the first and Fuji T64 for the second. It was my first roll of T64 - now discontinued from what I hear.
I tell you, that little Cosina Voigtlander 15/4.5 - it's hard to take bad shots with it. I tend to not shoot with it for a while and then drag it out for one shot only, and before I know it, I've shot a couple rolls with it.
By the way, I've really been enjoying your 4x5 shots.
A friend of mine works at a commercial press. One of his clients came in with about 100 rolls of film from his freezer. It was a mix of Provia 400f, 320T and mostly E100GX. He knew I was still shooting mostly film and called me about it.
E100GX is my favorite slide film and on the day I picked up all the frozen stuff, I found out that Kodak has discontinued it.
it's challenging, and fun!
