Digital to film
Is there a slick way of putting digital images on film other than a copy
stand and shooting film of a print? I have a number of digital images that I have photochoped or want as transparencies or negs, preferably on 120. I can still do things in the darkroom that I can't do digitally and vise-versa. |

If you put unexposed film in a film scanner, and set your computer's TWAIN driver to "Export", this will send the active image back out to the scanner which will expose the film. This, naturally, has to be done in complete darkness, so chances are you'll have to turn the monitor off and cover all those damn LEDs with black tape. An optical mouse is out of the question. You'll probably want to mark your mouse pad with braille notes as to the exact positions to move and click, since you won't be able to see the pointer. Also, remain extremely quiet lest you introduce scanner noise. Good luck! - Al. -- To reply, insert dash in address to match domain below Online photo gallery at www.wading-in.net |

Not that far off, imagine the CCD is replaced by a red/green/blue led/s.s.laser array. A 'flying spot scanner' scans the subject with a spot of light, measuring the total returned light from the subject. A film recorder replaces the subject with a sheet of film and modulates the spot of light as it scans across the film. A drum scanner can be a film recorder if the photodetector is replaced with a modulated light source. Early fax machines worked in this fashion: to receive you placed fax paper on the drum, to send you placed the original photo on the drum. Hence the use of 'put it on the spinner' for 'fax it'. Also the origin of 'wire photo'. In sum, the idea of an 'Export' button for the TWAIN driver is well over a hundred years too late: http://www.hffax.de/html/hauptteil_faxhistory.htm |

All good, but I can't do braille as I lost all my fingertips in an accident...reminds me to thank my "true" friends pick my nose for me... I'v taken to taping film to the screen on my digital camera and turning it on and off real quick. Works perfectly! |

I have a number of digital images that I have photochoped or want as transparencies or negs, preferably on 120. I can still do things in the darkroom that I can't do digitally and vise-versa. Don't know exactly how to do this, but one piece of advice I can offer: if you find a service bureau that can make film from your file, have them do it on something larger than 35mm. No point in limiting the resolution of the film if you can use something larger (like 6x8, 6x9, etc.). -- Save the Planet Kill Yourself - motto of the Church of Euthanasia (http://www.churchofeuthanasia.org/) |

I've found that an even bettter method is to tape a piece of color sheet film to the monitor, and turn it on and off real fast. Be sure to leave the monitor on for at least two scan cycles so that you get both of the interlaced scans. If you don't have the means to process sheet film, after exposing it, cut it into 1" wide strips, tape them together end-to-end, and spool them into a 35mm film can. Then you can take it to WalMart for processing. After processing, tape the strips back together with Scotch brand "Magic" tape. By using sheet film on the monitor, the "dots" are smaller in relation to the total image size. Time to go ULF and get a 27" LCD monitor ! == John S.

No point in limiting the resolution of the film if you can use something larger (like 6x8, 6x9, etc.). Putting the image on bigger film does not magically create more detail and resolution. Nor would the vast majority of digital images tax the capabilities of even 35mm film. If you're talking about captures from a D2x, a EOS 1Ds-MkII, or a Hassy/Leaf/etc. medium format back, you would be at the edges of even the finest grained 35mm slide stock at 12, 16, 22 megapixels, with the last probably requiring a larger negative to express. -- Rob on the Web - Trouble In Paradise http://rob.rnovak.net |
