| | | Yeah I like it
I loved it too. I have asked a friend who does web design if this is done in Flash and if he has any idea how to do it. |

However, I can not extract either the before or the after images from the shockwave file.

| | | You can do it in Flash. I "invented" something similar a while ago, but I can't remember any specifics, nor do I have the file, since I wrote it on my dad's computer. I might be able to dig it up when I go and visit over Xmas.
Basically, I followed a simple tutorial showing how you can make a shape follow the mouse cursor. In this case that would be a rectangle the size of the pic. I turned the shape into a mask that reveals the bottom layer, so wherever you dragged the shape, you could see the enhanced image layer. I'm not entirely sure how you would prevent the shape from moving up and down as opposed to just sideways though. |

| "Backs" mean digital sensor backs attached to the conventional medium-format film camera like Mamiya RZ67/645 or Hassey..etc. These camera can use both interchangeble film backs or digital backs. |

| | And they are super expensive to boot!! They are called Backs b/c they'll get you for the shirt on your back... Hopefully you can still afford underwear b/c it would not be a pretty site someone running around shooting with a Back and no clothes!!
Just joking but they are REALLY expensive and not much better than a 1DsMII, some will argue ofcourse, Mainly those who forked out the BIG $$$ for a back, But I have done several test and I use the 1DsMII daily. and saved about 20,000$...

I almost bought a 1DsMKII a bit back. I'll agree that they aren't that much better. I've found a nicer skin tone reproduction from the imacon backs, and had actually considered one before I gave up shooting. Prices have come down somewhat. I think a Mamiya ZD body (22 megapixel sensor) is going for about 14k or so. Imacon has a 16 megapixel back paired up with a 503CW in a kit under 10k. Most people though only use them on big jobs, where they hire a tech who brings a back+portable G5 setup with raid 0 or raid 2 config plus a bunch of other garbage. This goes for between 1200 and 1600 per day. Anyway, back to work.  |

| so, this is something you add onto a traditional film camera to make it digital? and i suppose this could work the other way around as well, going digital to film and all you do is replace these 'backs' to make that so?
