    35mm slide to pc?

    Yes, it's a common issue with scanners, even with dedicated film scanners, so you have to factor that in. The scanner does scan at 6400, but may not be able to resolve that optically. I'm not too bothered about the time it takes, or image size, so I just scan at the max resolution. I also have a...

    35mm slide to pc?

    Also, in the future there will be all kinds of processing to recover old images, but better than the AI stuff of today. You might have problems with the scanner driver if it's really old, in which case give Vuescan a check. The site now looks a bit like one of those scam PC driver sites, but...

    What's the best way to finish the seat corner this bench?

    What about making a corner post. Draw lines where the backs meet it, then profile to a round taper? I'm trying to visualise if that would work. I have a habit of trying to create impossible solutions. I would not box in radiators You need really good air flow to maintain their output. They...

    35mm slide to pc?

    Here is an old slide, 50+ years sitting in a slide box. No cleaning before scanning. Scanned at 6400dpi, 24 bit. The image on the left is scanned with Digital ICE on the Epson scanner. It uses a two pass scan, the first uses IR to detect scratches and dust on the surface. The right hand image...

    35mm slide to pc?

    You could certainly rattle through the slides doing it that way and if you got the set up correct, probably reasonable quality. My scanner is a lot slower. I scanned my slides at 6400 dpi, 24 bit, ( over 100Mb per image), The scanner does 12 slides at a time. It took about 43 min to scan the 12...

    35mm slide to pc?

    How many slides and how important is quality. What's the budget? There are many solutions. and some very good scanners which will do the job. I archived all my slides and negatives, very high resolution and 16 bit per channel, using an Epson V700 photo scanner. It does 12 slides at a time and...

    New bandsaw

    Yesterday, I turned on my bandsaw. There was a definite sluggishness to starting. Noisy when power applied, then a couple of seconds longer to get up to speed. I checked the capacitor, it was 32uF, which is just within spec, but decided to get a replacement. New one arrived this morning, fitted...

    Safely welding at home

    Welcome to the forum. :) What is the project?? What about looking for a communal workshop where you could do the work? I wouldn't weld in a communal area. It will almost certainly annoy someone.

    Fobco drill press clean up

    You have slackened the table, but it won't move on the column? I would apply penetrating fluid of some kind where the column and table clamp meet. I would secure the base to the bench. This will allow you to rotate the table on the column. it should move a fraction, then turn it back and fore...

    What are you talking about??? I know most of them!! Some time ago I looked at AI sharpening software it operated in a similar way. If you had an out of focus image, it would use AI to sharpen it It was quite amazing, then I started noticing if the image was too degraded, it just made up the...

    Wickes advertise hardwood ply, but deliver softwood ply

    You have to select an option to see what you might get. That selection is not immediately obvious. There is a reason why the page defaults to the better looking product. You have to ask why they wouldn't default to the scabby looking product?? because they would sell less. I'm sure the page has...

    Lawn Edger

    it's mainly just the lawn edge at flower beds. What you describe is what I do just now when I can't be bothered strimming it. It's a dip and twist motion. The mower sucks the longer grass up at the edge. I could get a mower with a rear roller, but I was looking for something which would keep...

    Lawn Edger

    I have quite a bit of curvy lawn edges. It doesn't take a huge amount of time to cut with a strimmer, but I hate doing it. Has anyone got a powered lawn edger that works well??

    Wickes advertise hardwood ply, but deliver softwood ply

    The main picture should have a disclaimer saying it's not necessarily representative of the delivered product. Even though they have supposedly covered themselves by the appropriate wording/spec/pictures elsewhere. They have deliberately tried to mislead the buyer, by not showing both types in...

    Fobco drill press clean up

    I see lots of old machines which have been completely refurbished/painted and they do look fantastic, but I like to retain the original look, warts and all. I give the machine a really good clean with de-greaser and where possible the high pressure hose or the spray bottle on my compressor. I...
