[Leica] digital - bummer of a maiden voyage

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)]

Hi Rob,

For me are very interesting your comments, I've never been decided to change
my scanner for a better one. I work with a flatbed Epson 3170 and I'm quite
happy on B&W, but with color no. I never tried to print my B&W, because
almost the prints I've saw on inkjet printers has a more or less, but it was
there, a magenta cast. I've constated even this point on B&W the pictures
I've sand last year for LUG annual book, and I'm not very motivated to see
B&W on such quality. I ask me if maybe could be also my own mistake
producing the scans, but I don't think so, if my files are defined on Gray
Scale, why should show a magenta cast?

I would like see your pictures, both, B&W and color, please post it, thanks.

Saludos cordiales
Luis

Well, I've spent my hard earned shekels and installed an Espon V750 Pro
scanner and an Epson Photo R2400 printer.  Scanned in a nice B/W taken with
the old black/nickel Leica II & Elmar 3.5/50cm.  Figured I'd marry up the
old and the new for the maiden voyage.  Fire up Adobe Lightroom 1.3 on the
new iMac and go through the basic learning curve.  I go to print and low and
behold it worked!  First blush it  
looks good but then I look closer in the shadows and there it was!   
Color - a slight reddish tint helping to define what's going on in that
particular shadowy area - not present anywhere else in the print.  Big
Bummer!  Oh, silver what have I done - there ain't no sunshine when its
gone!  Help!

Rob
