Imagecorder

Setting formats on the Imagecorder

The following set of parameter values was worked out by Jamie Cate and tested by Carl Correll (Retested 09/19/97 on new camera on csbile).: left linearity -2; right linerarity -11; height -2 (csbile); width -3 (csbile); vertical -5 (csbile); horizontal +9 (csbile); brightness +5 [black bkgrnd], 0 [white bkgrnd] (csbile); contrast +10 (csbile); red +0 or +2, or +4 (csbile; changed 04/29/98 as per user suggestion; necessary for Ektachrome Elite2 film; corrects white background that looks pink); green +2, or +4, or +6 (csbile); blue +2, or +4, or+6 (csbile)

For csblys:

height +8 (csblys)

width +8 (csblys)

vertical -7 (csblys)

horizontal +5 (csblys)

brightness 0 (csblys)

contrast 0 [white bkgrnd], +5 [black bkgrnd], (csblys)

red -4 [black bkgrnd], -2 [white bkgrnd], (csblys)

green -4 [black bkgrnd], -1 [white bkgrnd], (csblys)

blue -4 [black bkgrnd], -1 [white bkgrnd], (cs blys)

(The last three (r,b,g) values mean that you may want to bracket your settings. You could also use +3, +4, and +5 for a tighter bracketing. For faint electron density lines or non-bright colors you may want to lighten the image by bracketing between +4 to +8. This is equivalent to a one F-stop range.)
