Re: Does MF color slides scanning in 24 bit still make sense
Ernst, the article you link to requires a paid membership to read it, unfortunately. As for Callier effect with color negatives, well, it would have to be a problem with the surface, presumably on the emulsion side, as dyes to not scatter light as do silver grains in black and white film. These surface effects are dramatically reduced by liquid mounting. Aliasing of the grain image, on the other hand image can greatly increase its coarseness. This is a product of sampling frequency and grain pattern, and certain combinations of fim type and aperture size/sampling rate can aggravate the effect. Contrary to common belief using a smaller aperture may actually smooth out the grain by avoiding the frequency at which the aliasing is worst. Why negatives and not positives? They have a sharper grain pattern than positive transparencies, that's all. I've had little trouble matching the look of sharp optical enlargements in digital prints made from drum scans of the same color negatives.

You mean the Callier effect as mentioned earlier in one of the messages. I doubt that. Sure that effect could be introduced in scanner or slide copier illumination but true point light sources + condensors are not used in 99% of scanners but the drum scanners. The last can eliminate that effect again with aperture control which in practice is similar to CCD scanner multi sampling, the sensor resolution being below the scan sampling resolution. That is baked in hardware wise in the Epson and some Umax models but can be extended with Vuescan and Silverfast. For the Nikon scanners the multi sampling is a choice in the driver software. Even lighting in scanners is more or less impossible with true point light sources but (I imagine) a flying spot.
In color negative film the elimination of the orange mask should not compromise the dye color capture, noise will appear one way or another. For color negatives discontinuous spectral lighting whether with LED or CCFL light sources can actually improve the dye capture if the spectral spikes are placed at the maximum dye densities and the sensor RGB sensitivity aimed at the combination of both spike and dye density. Intensity per channel controlled to get neutrality. Human observer has lost any meaning there.
Color film should not create a Callier effect. The pepper grain effect in scans made on the Minolta scanners etc could be reduced with an extra diffusor in the light path but what actually caused it was not a Callier effect but this: https://luminous-landscape.com/fuji-pepper-grain-the-mystery-resolved/ The problem showed less with wet mount scans, as I wrote before film emulsion surfaces can play dirty tricks in scanning. Small bubbles in lenses have no influence, small bubbles in film do, I recall there was actually a commercial film that relied on it: Vesicular film. Not lost in obscurity I see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicular_film
In the seventees I had a Durst M610? enlarger. Normally equiped with a opal bulb tungsten lamp + 45 degr mirror + condensor lens. Fascinated by the German Veigel enlargers with their projector lamp lighting I tinkered a slide projection lighting in the Durst. Then adjust the overlap of the filament + mirrored filament correctly. Creating übergrain prints William Klein style. On cheap document paper. It had nothing to do with sharpness and all with contrast. Not usable for color either.

Mike, David, I was going to correct mike as well on the paid membership but it seems the first time you access the site you have full access to the article. After that, you pay. I (visually) scanned the article thinking I would return for the detail. I may return when I scrape up a dollar for the subs.
From what I recall the 'pepper grain' is/was an inherent characteristic of the substrate which was more or less apparent in a variety of films.
As for matching sharp optical prints to drum scans of the same colour negative... That's a great exercise for aspiring photographers, image editors and printers top get to grips with finer points of colour reproduction.

Good Morning! I have a client who is looking at purchasing a Caldera GrandRIP+ to drive several (3-4) grand format machines. They have asked me for input, and frankly, I have no experience with this RIP or even printers of this size. I told them I would pass the question along to see if I could gather some info for them.
From what I gather online, Caldera seems to be a respected and powerful piece of software.
So… Just curious if anyone has anecdotal experience with this RIP, good or bad, and any caveats that I should pass along? Does this RIP lend itself to straightforward color management? Many thanks! Randy N
Many of these large formats printers are sold with some RIP, whether this one or one like Ony Postershop who has extensive printers support. I'm sure Caldera has plenty of support for basic color management operations. As long as the RIP can put the printer in some sort of "calibrated" state, custom profiling becomes possible and color managed queues can be setup without too much difficulty. Have you had a chance to look at Caldera's User Guide?

Caldera has support for balancing light/dark ink splits, linearizing the ink channels, determining a total ink limit, and creating ICC profiles. It also has functions for black generation choices. Recently Caldera has also included an RGB mode with excellent shadow detail, and very neutral gray ramps. They have also updated their user interface, making use even easier for first time users.

Good Morning!
I have a client who is looking at purchasing a Caldera GrandRIP+ to drive several (3-4) grand format machines.
They have asked me for input, and frankly, I have no experience with this RIP or even printers of this size. I told them I would pass the question along to see if I could gather some info for them.
From what I gather online, Caldera seems to be a respected and powerful piece of software.
So… Just curious if anyone has anecdotal experience with this RIP, good or bad, and any caveats that I should pass along? Does this RIP lend itself to straightforward color management?
Many thanks!
Randy N
