Here are some tips from the Jetphotos.net Crew to help
you get desireable results from your photos.
Film recommendations: for prints use 100 ISO in good
sun and in overcast use 200 ISO. Recommended print
films, Fuji Reala 100, Kodak Gold 100, Kodak Supra
100. For slides use such slide film as Kodachrome 64,
Fuji Provia or Sensia 100 in good sun. All these films
are fairly reasonable in price.
Scanning and Editing tips for prints and slides:
If you are scanning prints on a flatbed scanner, for
desireable results scan anywhere between 300-600dpi.
When finished scanning save as a .TIF file.
If you are scanning slides basically use the same
settings as scanning prints always remembering to save
as .TIF files. Also if you are scanning slides
consider using Vuescan scanning software. You can find
Vuescan at http://www.hamrick.com Vuescan does however
cost $40 USD but you can download a trial version and
you will find it is a great tool.
To Edit your print or slide scans use an Image editor
such as Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and higher, Adobe Elements
2.0, Paintshop Pro 5.0 or higher or similiar software.
Adobe Elements 2.0 is highly recommended as it meets
the needs of photo editing and is fairly affordable
(roughly $79 USD).
Open up your scan in the image editor and do the
following:
1. Make sure the photo is cropped properly and adjust horizon if needed
2. Resize your image (preferrably to 1024 pixels wide,
Jetphotos minimum is 800 pixels wide)
3. Adjust any brightness or contrast and remove any
dust spots or such)
4. Sharpen, for best results use Unsharp Mask. In
Adobe a reasonable setting is 0.5 radius and 5.0
Threshold, adjust Amount to desired sharpness, careful not over sharpen
5. Save as a .JPG file and use little or no
compression. Too much compression will deteriorate
your saved photo.
For editing Digital photos use the same editing steps
as scanned prints and slides, try and shoot at highest resolution possible from your camera. Be aware that PaintshopPro 7.0 is not too user friendly resizing digital jpeg files straight from the camera. Adobe software is
recommended. Another tip for digital shooters: Do Not
use digital zoom, it deteriorates your photo quality,
only use optical zoom on your digital camera.
Good Luck and keep the pics comin'!
