Why at the conversion stage John?i have a sizing question:
I am shooting blad/CFV, square format, raw
i would like the final image size to be 15 x 15 (or 16-1/4 x 16-1/4...haven't decided)
the raw images are getting processed by Flexcolor right now, Phocus as soon as the PC version is out. When I select the 15 x 15 output in Flex though, it crops the image to get it, which I don't want. My workaround has been to re-size it when printing using the fit page tool in Imageprint. not particularly useful if you want an exact size. I can also re-size exactly in CS, but I am looking for the sizing to be done in the raw conversion
any hints?
thanks
John, maybe you've already done this, but here's some basic Flexcolor info if you haven't:using CS3, i re-scale to 15x15, 240dpi (a bit trickier than that, but that is the outcome) for printing on epson 4880. my understanding is that at a native 720dpi for the epson, that gives a nice integer value of 3 dots per pixel
A couple of possibilities:marc:
thanks for the tip. here is what i found.
i had been using 8 bit std RGB. 100% at 300dpi, so i made a new
setup at 240dpi, 16bit RGB. now when i open a 3fr image and compare the two set-ups, the 16 bit looks overexposed by a stop or two and the saturation and overall contrast are much lower???
i could probably correct for this, but the effect was surprising.
