The 13×38 paper is great for Panos. I am working on an article.
The paper I was referring to is 60lb Polar Matte
I love it and order boxes in regular photo size like 5x7m 8×10 and 11×14 Ur’a good print on the old traditional sizes
Their BAryta is really nice.

When I was doing Luminous Landscape, I spent a day with him; I made a three-part video with him in his studio. Check it out at this Link. Then look up the other two videos. It was a real privilege. He’s an amazing person. I have all his books.

Owner and Publisher of photoPXLin reply to: Fuji X100VI #88890Re: Fuji X100VIReply #6 on: February 25, 2024 at 11:34 amBarbara and Jonathan… Let’s start off with the easy question: the iPhone Pro 15 Max. I love that phone. The camera is excellent. The images I’ve been getting from it incredible I have over 140,000 images on my iPhone at this time. I shoot nothing but raw now. I have a 1 TB iPhone. Once a month if not sooner I import the images for the month off onto a folder on my raid. I then import those images into LR where I can work with them. LR has a great ProRaw profile, and editing images in LR are really easy to work with. These images now sit inmmy LR catalog, they are keyworded and I can use masking and other tools to enhance them. That now makes the iPhone a great camera that is with me all the time. The 48mp works only on the main camera but RAW works on all lens. I’ll have some editing tips coming up in the future when I can get past some other projects I am working on. So, bottom line I love the iPhone 15 and it does some amazing images. I have also published an article a while back How Bug Can You Go where I printed the iPhone 48mp to a 44×52 inch Find it HERE.
Now to the Fuji X100VI. I get my camera this week. I look forward to getting it set up and getting out to try out its new features. The Fuji X100VI is a totally different ballgame. It’s the camera you put up to your eye. It’s got a rangefinder it’s got a digital finder. It’s got all sorts of film simulations, and it’s more or less a real camera, and I like shooting with a real camera when I’m on the streets and when I’m at events. The X100v Fuji, the JPEG rendition from the X100VI is great. I normally set my camera up to shoot raw and three of my favorite film simulations is JPEG. I can use the Roth I wanted to fine-tune it or JPEG straight out of the camera ready to go. I like the fact that I can put the camera up to my eyeball. I like the fact that the controls on the camera are much like the retro controls. I used to have dials and knobs and not try to put switches all over the place. There is a menu that allows for quick settings, such as the way you might want to set up Focus detection for different subjects, etc. I’ll have more to say on this when I do my article.
I can’t answer the question of whether you should have an iPhone or the 100, but I can tell you that I have both that’s just my nature if I knew I was going on the streets to take pictures, I would actually take a camera if I was somewhere and didn’t wanna have to take a camera I would have my iPhone in my pocket ready to take a picture if I needed to, so I kind of balance the two out. The iPhone is the camera I always have with me rather than trying to have one over the shoulder. But if I am going out to take pictures. I will take one of my other mini cameras if it’s casual on the streets, the X 100 would be the one I checked. If I need interchangeable lenses, it might be the Fuji XT five. If I was out shooting landscapes would probably be the Sony AR for one of these others. I have a lot.
Simply put, the iPhone 15 Promax is a fabulous camera. I have never had a camera quite like that that I can carry in my pocket. however, I’m still all about the camera, and that’s where the Fuji comes in. What I do I have an awful lot of cameras, however, a lot less than I had a few years ago during the pandemic when I had a cleanse. When I get the new Fuji. I’ll certainly keep everybody abreast of my experiences with it, and share what I can. Most likely I’ll document a lot of I to do with the Fuji with the iPhone. Both are excellent cameras both delivering fine photographs. If you can afford it get both however, if you don’t order your Fuji soon, you may be into months of waiting for them to come out based upon the sales figures that have been shared with me.
Hope that wasn’t too convoluted. I love the Fuji and I love my iPhone I just decide when I’m going to use one versus the other. But the way I’m set up right now I never miss a picture cause there’s always one camera with me. Hope that helps more on things as they develop it’s going to be an exciting week.

I even mentioned that on the Quickstart sheet that comes in those printers, there should be a warning about not installing air print. But for some reason, Epson keeps doing that. In my video that I showed the unboxing and installation of the P 900 I made a big point not to add air print. This is usually the first place we have to look when people are having problems. Quick solution if that’s it. And a big nuisance too.

Owner and Publisher of photoPXLin reply to: Matt Papers for Color Landscapes? #88743Re: Matt Papers for Color Landscapes?Reply #9 on: February 19, 2024 at 5:14 pmI have been printing a lot of images on Red River papers. They have some very nice papers and in regular photo sizes which is pretty cool. I just finished making prints on 13×38 polar pro matte and the image look great. The 13x 38 is a great pano size. I will do a write up on this very soon.

I have used Hahnemuehle Double printable pager with punched holes and their album covers and have made some great editions. I show these at my fine art printing classes (info on this site). Info HERE. I also use their tins a lot. Great for showing off projects in a manageable size find info HERE.
I also use portfolio boxes. These are great for keeping bigger prints. find them HERE.
There are a lot of book printing services around. I don’t know any that do printing on phot papers. I really have had great success with Saal printing. Their software is good too.
Hope that gets you off to a good start.
