I am no longer using Twitter — For many years I found Twitter the most positive, supportive, intriguing social media platform. So it really is very sad that in such a short space of time it’s transformed into something so radically different.
I’m doing a talk as part of Westminster Photo Forum @westminphoto next week on my cultural heritage imaging and art practice. Weds 20th Nov, 6.30pm, Regent St Campus. Free. Open to all. No booking required!
Had the great honour of capturing the first ever National Gallery All Staff photograph. Celebrating 200 years of the National Gallery, the sun came out and over three hundred members of staff congregated in Trafalgar Square for the picture. Photos © The @NationalGallery , London

Museum imaging people 👋 Is anyone still successfully using Platypus software (either the standalone or photoshop plugin?) for reducing the visibility of cradles in x-radiographs of paintings?
I used to use a great feature on photoshop a lot, but forgot exactly how it was done. You would hold a key and use a pipette, then click on an image area in the curves adjustment and it would put a point on the curve on the R, G and B channels separately. Anyone?

Are there any commercial services who offer full-spectrum conversions AND bayer CFA removal for silicon sensors? Or is the CFA removal considered too risky to be commercially viable?!
Who’s got a beautiful example of using structured light scanning for a project that they might be interested in having featured in a book?

It's all about the money, money, money. Wait until folks hear that there is not one library in the entire world with a complete catalogue of their holdings, because there is not time nor resource to do so. Every institution would love a full catalogue. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
