Yes,but it takes time and patience. This came from Kodak for 150 yr old photos. First place a light pamphlet or several sheets of paper to start the flattening process. Each month gradually increase the amount of weight, until it will accept a piece of window glass. Then add more glass, until it is flat. This process will prevent the gelatin from cracking. I did this process for 150 year old prints and they came out great. They were tightly rolled, and it took a year. Good luck.
I own a Mamiya RZ67,with a prismatic viewfinder, which is removable. Several years ago, I was climbing on some rocks by the ocean. I bumped the camera and the viewfinder detached, and I watched as it bounced down the rocks into the ocean, and became a $2,500 paper weight. I sat down and cussed myself and cried. Went down the rocks, fished it out and tried to dry it out. Called Mamiya, and they chuckled and asked if I learned anything. Yes, if it has boobs or lenses, it will be expensive. Oh how true.
Turn off the "retain proportions" command.
Using after market inks is a mixed bag. If you do a lot of printing (meaning you print something every day)you will probably have good success. That is the key . If you tend to let the printer set for weeks between use, you will likely have problems with clogging. OEM inks will clog less. That is a major issue for after market inks.
The trick to green screen cutouts is to get the lighting on the screen very even, then do not have your subject stand too close as they will pickup a hue. Blue screens will also work. Chroma Key backdrop is a good tool. Also make sure the lighting on the subject is even and that they are NOT wearing green.
I know a couple of photographers that use that size for their portfolios. Custom made. Try LeatherCraftsmen.
Just a quick note on B&W. Green grass equates to 18% gray (the same as a gray card for exposure). You can use the grass to adjust the exposure of your B&W image.
Question: have you never had the iron oxide on a tape fail after 15 to 20 years? A major client of mine used tapes (premium brands in environmentally controlled vaults) and suffered major data loss after 20 years, that and their tape readers failed. They determined that hard drives, recycled every ten years was the safest. Also consider that technology changes and software for reading data also changes. I strongly recommend evaluating backups every ten years.
The price for the media should be the same for film or digital.
I use a large Wacom Intuos tablet. I consider it a must for editing. The pen has sensitivity of pressure and when you blow a photo up to 300% for editing, it is much easier to use a pen than a mouse
This is about right for a good wedding photographer.
Make an EPS image then import it as a layer and do not flatten the image
What is the ambient light- color and intensity?
Because of the size of the chips.
Familiar with it. Looked at it, and thought it was too much a "formula" based retouching program where everyone came out the same. Suggest Katrin Eismann's book, "Restoration & Retouching". Katrin is a master retoucher and restoration photographer that produces stunning results. She will show you why you need to approach each retouching assignment individually and not let an algorithm do it for you.
