  2. For image analysis I use ImageJ and Image SXM. For landscape rendering I use Terragen.

  4. No, I could not afford that microscope!

    The microscope I use is this one: http://tinyurl.com/22ldfbm
    It sells for about $100 US/Cdn and I think every printshop should have one and learn how to use it.

    It only has two magnifications: 20x and 200x which is all that's needed for print application (and most other uses). It comes with software for MAC (which I use) and PC. The software for the PC has more functions than the MAC software.

    The software I use - ImageJ, Image SXM, and Terragen2 - are not easy to use, but they are free (MAC OS only). And they do the jobs I need to do in analyzing the micro-photos that I take. Terragen2, what I use to do the landscapes, is brutally hard to use because there is no useful documentation and the interface is very unusual. So be prepared to spend a lot of time figuring it out enough to do anything useful.

  10. What's the effect of snow on TVI?

  11. @ Mike,

    Some people consider this topic as somewhat flakey - however the impact of snow on TVI can become a major issue if conditions deteriorate. From my experience, a small amount of snow can be tolerated, however, if it drifts or increases too rapidly it piles which can actually cause the dots to to disappear. Snow is typically precipitated if the chiller temperature settings are too low. Some people think they can just plough through the problem, however, they usually get stuck at some point and have to call in some professional experts to dig them out of the mess.

    Good for you to spot this important, but often overlooked, issue

  12. It would be interesting to see the solid area next to the screened area with your views.

    Very creative images.
