Pfff, I think I have fixed it. I just heard from my provider. Some evildo-er hacked a whole bunch, including mine.

We fixed it and I hope it will last.

Sorry for the inconvenience...

Gone is the dream that a mac is save from hackers...

Now to fix my own website.

The problem is known. I'm in contact with my provider to get it solved.

I will also look into the solution you mentioned. Thanks for that one.


I hope it will be solved today.

I'm having trouble loading the website.
I get the application/x-httpd-php error.
I asked our IT guy and he said it's on the server side where the site is being held.
I found a tech site that discusses how to fix it here.
Thought those in charge of the site would like to know
Anyone else having the problem?

36 or 37 for hue seems to be about right. It's the saturation that changes from image to image for me. That's where I spend a little more time; fine tuning it for each particular image. Whether I go with Hue/Sat or Black and White (tint) ,or as a matter-of-fact any of Photoshop's  color  pickers, I seem to end up in about the same place. However, In the printer driver I get a different toning application that works well also. ( WARM  - WARMER ) Then tweek that as well with each image. Too much fun , Isn't it ??

We've talked about this in the past, but does anyone have any new skills on matching toning.
I end up close but it's a fine line and can go too neutral, too green or too red.
I messed around quite a bit today and still haven't found a solid, reproducible way of doing it.......
In general, I think the underlining tone (for KCN fix) is in the orangish area of the pallete....closer to yellow than red. On the HSB picker, that's around 36 deg for H.

The "12" is the jpeg setting for quality. It is high quality (maximum quality)

Make the long side of your image 10" and save it as a 12 (high) JPEG at 300 dpi.

Like a dumb@#@ I forgot to take model releases this past weekend, so I'm going to have to hunt down my 2 subjects. I won't be able to do that for a week or 2.

I am trying to do this from my work PC. Living in the country without cable or internet is usually fine until something like this happens & I end staying longer than I want at work. Until I get this upload problem solved here are the other plates we made Saturday: http://picasaweb.google.com/brasslens/WetPlateCollodionDay2009?feat=directlink

All,
 I am having problems assessing the wetplate day site to upload my second image. has anyone else reported problems. Last time I connected it took over 7 minutes and I still could not upload images to the site. I pinged other sites and my connection was fine and quick.
thanks,
Euphus

The images look outstanding!  I wish I could have shot some portraits, but didn't get anything line out ahead of time. I tried something new, which was to take wet plate on the road without a darkroom, so it was a successful day for me.  
Can't wait to see the book.

Thanks to everyone who was involved in this website creation, the result is GREAT !

The limitation to one picture sounds ok to me, if it's the way to have more different people in the book
