RE: Pictorico pinholes
Diana, I'm wondering if it could be a software problem, with the scanner not picking up tone evenly in very light areas. Are you sanning from negative or slide, or using digital files?Seeing the pinholes are always in the sky, perhaps they are just little "blank" areas on the file, which you might not be able to detect until you print?

I have used Pictorico for a while, with an Epson 2200. I have been working on one particular negative, and every single time I print it, on Pictorico, I get these little pinholes (always always up in the blank sky area). I have cleaned everything-- my house, the dog, the computer/scanner/printer, the room itself, and I've cleaned the original negative obsessively. The entire room/computer/scanner/ printer/negative/dog are cleaner than they've ever been. I opened up a new packet of Pictorico, thinking that maybe something was wrong with the original packet I was using. But the first one out of the box--I printed it, and it was all clean, except for about 6 little pinholes in the sky. Well, they vary in size. I'm going crazy with this. They don't seem to be dust marks; they just look more like little places where the ink isn't going down properly--or something. So I don't know if this is a static electricity problem or a humidity problem or what. I really haven't a clue. So if anyone else has suffered from this, please tell me what to do about these little pinholes. I'm going crazy here. Thanks for any help! Diana -- No virus found in this incoming message.
