Anyone have a use for one of these. I bought it many many years ago and it's still in perfect condition. When i took the job at Tennessee Tech they had one so I used theirs. I have no need for it anymore since I have a Kodak color seperation and gray scale card that I can use when I need dead on colors.

John,

I recently looked for my chart and cannot find it. So if you are looking for a happy home for yours, I am interested.

Wow, that brings back the memories. I used to use one to help with calibration from camera to print. Can't find mine now but have no need. I also have a high-end screen calibration device that I used to use with CRTs, supposed to work with LCDs too but never did that. For come reason, color seems to be a lot easier these days (or maybe my eyes can't tell the difference any more!)

What I miss is my grey card, also gone missing. Oh well!

Thank you John, the card arrived safe and sound.

It was like meeting an old friend again

Of course, this means that my old one will turn up any day now.

Yea brings back memories for me. I ran a full service darkroom at Tenn. Tech of almost 20 years including doing a lot of copy work for professors and of course shooting a lot of art work. Use that card a lot for testing purposes. Well not that one, it was mine, the one we bought for work.

I miss the fun times in the darkroom. I often had as many as 10 students working under me and they were a lot of fun. I don't miss the chemical problems that snuck up. Very much like bugs or virus's on the computer. You would solve the problem but never quite figured out where it came from.

It was also my job to maintain all of the processors and other darkroom gear. Since I had a camera repair back ground I did some work on our camera but most of them went electronic too fast and that killed that.

The attached site is for auditing our eyes. We take the test once per year. As I get older, it takes me 2 or 3 tries to score a perfect 0.
