We had a great turnout at our openings for “A Life Reviewed: George Eastman Through the Viewfinder” and “Eat a Peach” last Friday! Thank you to everyone who came! If you missed the show it will be up in the galleries at Booksmart until January.
The Galleries looked great! Both Emma and Lisa worked hard all week to get everything together by Friday.

Please follow this link to get your scans:
The Hasselblad Flextight Precision III offers a maximum true optical resolution of 6300dpi. Booksmart Studio can scan a 35mm landscape transparency at, for example, 5000dpi, while a 6×4.5cm portrait original could be scanned at 4500dpi.
Like the other Flextight scanners the Precision III incorporates the unique Flextight magnetic original holder design, which eliminates the need for mounting originals on glass. Thus, there is no need for gel or tape, and the operator does not have to clean each transparency after scanning.
As the magnetic holder retracts automatically into the scanner it is fed around a virtual drum, which creates a perfectly flat surface directly underneath the CCD. Scanning the surface of the original without the use of glass removes the danger of Newton Rings or moir, as well as color flare and registration errors.
The Precision III handles positive or negative originals from 35mm to 12x17cm, as well as reflective copy up to 220x310mm including color, line-art and gray scale work. Imacon say its ability to pick out minute detail and its sharpness help to make it the best negative scanner on the market today. The unique design eliminates complicated moving optics and results in an extremely compact scanner. An external power supply removes the possibility of electrical noise caused by heat or electronics.
