P3D Re: Mounting marathon almost over!



Let me clarify something here... Here is what "mounting"
means for me at this stage:  I cut the rolls, stick the
chips in Albion mounts, decide if the picture will go
in a 7p mount or 5p mount, preview with a viewer, adjust
the window and classify.

When I am done, I have all stereo pairs mounted correctly
in Albion mounts and separated by subject (location in this
case) and camera used (S1 or X4).

This is not a permanent mounting.  For there I have the
following options:

- Leave the chips as-is in the Albion mounts.  Tape them in 
  place with aluminum tape.  Put in cardboard foldover or in
  glass.  This is what I used to do in the past.  But times
  have changed....  I will still do that and use cardboard
  for a picture that has a great appeal in the viewer but 
  will never be projected or use glass for a really valuable
  image.  But now more and more I do this:

- Transfer the chips in RBT mounts.  These will be projected,
  used in competitions, entered in slide folios, etc.  These 
  are the best pictures.  Or:

- Transfer the chips in cardboard Spicer mounts.  Nice memories,
  routine shots, not exhibition material but still worth keeping.

So I still have a lot of work to do... This "mounting" that I 
am doing now is really a glorified review process...
