Ralph, You need to convince the client that digital is the way to go as the
Phase One digital back will see colors that film can not. Your work flow on
digital will be so much smoother and your client will appreciate the benefit
of instant gratification, no need to scan film, and needless to say you save
so much time and effort to be able to perfectly light the images and see
them displayed on the monitor in a flash! Understand that Museums and
galleries have been "brought up" on 8x10. It's our job to show them new
technologies that will preserve their paintings in a form for the future. As
for your question concerning which back to use, my suggestion is the Phase
One as it runs equally well under both computing platforms and you can soft
proof as you shoot. The software is a quick learning curve and bottom line,
The Clients dig it! Feel free to consult with me directly off line if you
have further questions. Tim Stahl, Stahl Photographics 619-236-9500

in advance.
I have a potential client, an art museum, who wants to copy 150 paintings
for
numerous reasons. Archiving, duplication, catalogs, etc. They want to do it
on 8x10 transparency and scan the film. I am trying to convince them to do
it
with a digital scan back and save film/processing cost which, with 8x10,
will
be substantial. Enough so for me to be able to purchase a scan back for this
purpose.
If this project is a "GO!", I would be interested in either a BetterLight or
PhaseOne back. I've been told by a PhaseOne salesperson that ICC
implementation is better with their product than with the BetterLight. Is
it?
In addition to ICC considerations, what pros and cons do any of you have
between these backs?
Are these backs capable of 8x10 scanned quality to begin with?
What size files would you think are necessary do equal 8x10 scanned quality?
I'm not certain what the largest reproduction would be, but my guess is at
least 30x40.
Are there any other options/backs I should consider?
Thank you,
Ralph Tomaccio
