First Test of NPL 8x10 HRU 1000mm F32 18 pops Octobox by Nokton48, on Flickr

First test of Negative Lab Pro, a program which converts large format negatives (small ones too) into nice looking positives. This is 8x10 Fuji HRU XRAY Film, D23 replenished. Neg copied with Sony Nex-7 (36mp) with 50mm Zeiss F2.8 Touit, an AWESOME optic. Big learning curve ahead

Histograms are your friend. "Curves" is my favorite adjustment tool.

I'm building a copy stand, picked up the steel last week. I've been stalling, contemplating the base. It just dawned on me, I want a transparency window. Just need to decide how big.

I have the lights, polarizers and alignment mirror.

New 8x10 Kodak 3F 15 liter Basket Line Dev Fix Wash Filled with H20 works good by Nokton48, on Flickr

I'm finally setting up my Kodak 8x10 B&W Basket Line. Ordered from Artcraft 5 pounds Sodium Sulphite, 1 pound Metol, already had Sodium Metaborate for making D23 Replenisher. Need six more gallons of Distilled Water from Krogers. Testing 18x24cm MinR-L right now, getting closer to what I want. So far I prefer it to HRU 8x10, which has different qualities.

I missed your copy setup the first time. I got a 6' mast (removable) for my stand in case I want to use the 105 macro on the Z7ii. It's long but incredibly sharp, no distortion.

Nice Sink! I found the Kodak hangers, used for B&W, sensitive to manual agitation, to much hyper develops the film around the holes. I was fortunate to get a set of Evolution Hangers so I didn't have to correct my behavior. Just get a nitrogen burst grid and you'll be golden.
