Well JPEG is a compressed image format where as TIFF usually is not (though it is possible to choose to compress TIFF files too, including in Vuescan on the Output tab, I believe). My eyes are not good enough for seeing the effects of this compression on images posted online but it might be there.

 

As for colour, it may have to do with the colour space you use. Saving a scan as JPEG will often apply the sRGB colour space whereas the original TIFF scan might have been done using a bigger colour space, like Adobe RGB. It is very visible on my screen at least that colours become slightly 'duller' when an image is saved in sRGB (whether I 'convert' or only 'assign' that colour space in Photoshop). To obtain punchy colours, if that is desired for a particular image which is for internet use, or just to keep the colour palette of the original scan it is sometimes best to do the final colour corrections in the sRGB colour space.

 

I'm sure there are others who can explain this bette though.

Philip I have this link for you

Thank you for your opinion

Henry, I like photographs of working people, the movement blur etc. It is a coincidence that just the evening before I had the opportunity to visit a working boulangerie in Sixt-fer-a-Cheval. Their products are "bio". I will be going back sometime early next year to take some photos. I will visit alone and not with a group as I did the last time. Too many people and distractions!

 

Thank you for your comment

How cool that these two, so very contrasting, shots ended up right next to each other. There are so many and dramatic differences between them, location, the elements, light etc. Adam's which looks as if it could have been taken by Weegee on a day off (or is there a corpse hidden somewhere?) and Eoin's which is timeless and ancient as only geographical features are but which screams 21st century due to the bright colours. Awesome stuff all around.

Another from Plage de la Pointe, same roll as earlier. I also shot with my Hasselblad (of course) so I'll bore you with those once I get them scanned.

 

Adam, thanks for your comment about the muted colours. I see that now, here on my office screen. I'll try to punch up the colours a bit at home to better reflect the bright sunny day on which this was shot.

One of the downsides of baking your own bread is that people ask you to get up early and bake them a special loaf - I had to get up at 4am last week to bake a white and a wholewheat loaf for Pippa to take to a Christmas 'potluck' lunch. If anyone is interested I have a no-knead recipe worked up where you mix the ingredients one evening and bake the next morning with little effort other than being present at the right times. I bake these loaves in a cast-iron dutch oven (with its lid on for a start so they steam bake initially, and then take the lid off to make them crusty) inside my regular oven. An awful lot of cooking is like working in the darkroom - it's all practical chemistry!

 

And talking of chemistry, I'm about to find out if Ilfotec HC really is just like HC-110. Ilford have asked me to repeat my XP2 experiments with it and write them a blog. I'm not too interested in the effort of turning out regular posts, but I'll give them a single article for their website based on what happens. It's too cold and snowy to go out with a camera at present, so the only things I'm likely to produce for a while will be large format indoor portraits since my son is home for Christmas and I have a victim!

Thanks, Philip. Just wanted to clarify thatbi think the color palette and contrast level are fantastic and help make the photo sing. I wouldn't change anything!

I will be very interested in your findings. I am amazed at your results with "alternative" chemistry. Any way to easily use wonderful XP2 is most welcome. It will be most interesting to see if Ilford "approves" using Ilfotec with XP2.

I would be interested in that recipe, my wife can only eat bread baked with European non-gmo flour, she has allergies to American flour. We have flour shipped in from the UK for her.

 

I came across some negatives the other day, apparently a year ago I developed a roll of XP2 shot at 400 in Ilfosol 3, the negatives are indistinguishable from those developed in C41. I'll be interested in seeing the results of your new experiments. So far I'm not happy with the results I am getting with XP2 in HC-110, I'm losing all shadow detail. I'm not giving up yet though.

This is the Ferris wheel at the waterfront of Bari (Southern Italy). I believe it is there only temporary for the Holidays.

It was a sunny day and I was shooting some Ilford FP4+. It was the 8th of December and after the walk we went to eat fried panzerotti like their tradition wants! I do like traditions when there's food involved.
