Hi Carlos, thank you for the links:) The Scanning resolution calculator will be a great help for the next photos to be processed. I like the book a lot - not only because of the beautiful pictures but also it's good to see, that I'm not the only photographer around that has lots of interests; I like showing buildings the way I *feel *their structure - not the way they are designed on paper, people are interesting motifs to me, when showing their *souls *- not an unnatural smile, lasershows photographed at the correct speed are one of my specialties, tricking the eye with a special view-angle is fun to look at - my so called April pictures:) and a lot more that's for sure.. I was just looking for the range-finder-card for Rollei 35ers and saw that someone back in April 2013 lost the link. Here it is now, the Human Rangefinder Card GeneratorBy Thomas Achtemichuk<tom@xxxxxxxxxxx> http://tomchuk.com/misc/rf/ Have fun:) Uwe 2014-02-16 16:34 GMT+01:00 CarlosMFreaza <cmfreaza@xxxxxxxxx>: > Hi Uwe: > The resolution has to do with the final product.
