How you scanned it isn't particularly significant, although a holder will generally make the negative easier to handle and flatter if it's a good holder for the format. I played with the image a little further … Color balance and skin tones are always so fussy! Bumping up the color

Well I did a "print screen' of Godder's latest and took it a bit further  based solely on what I remember of popular interior decoration back in the day around the time I would guess this photo was taken.. "eggshell" or "off-white" would likely have been the wall color as opposed to gray... I

Gonz, Thanks! I'm at home now. I grabbed the original you posted into Lightroom Classic, cropped it, and applied corrections. I noticed that it was left to right reversed according to the rebate markings, so I flipped it horizontally. The result is a bit cooler than what I did on the iPhone

Thanks, Godtrey, It looks a little closer to Dan's now. I didn't have it on a holder, just flat on the scanner. I'm going to try putting it on the holder, though its a very odd size that I don't remember my scanner having it. I have a couple of medium format B's that I found in a book from the

That looks great, and more natural too. I was having issues with color cast and such. On Thu, Sep 30, 2021 at 11:28 AM Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > > Ten seconds with Snapseed using color balance and curves netted this from > your thumbnail: https://www.flickr.com/gp/gdgphoto/N777Kf > > — > G > >

Jaguar positioned the E-Type as the successor to the D-Type race car, not the XKSS, and it featured many upgrades, most notably the independent rear suspension. The most significant shared nature was the subframe/rigid body unit construction. The XKSS was a limited production streetable version

I’d begin by setting the black point and white point with PhotoShop’s Levels tool. Then I’d dodge and burn as necessary to provide further correction. Once I was satisfied with the range, I’d tweak the color using the Color Balance tool. > On Sep 30, 2021, at 11:52 AM, Gonz wrote: > >

Scanned an old negative. Played around with the usual knobs, but cant seem to get it to look decent. There is not enough dynamic range here it seems. I've seen articles somewhere where they make old photos like this pop out almost to new. How does this work?

Well done, Larry. You sure got the chaps talking with that lot! I never owned any of them although I did once have a Wolseley 6/110 which had the same 3L BMC 6 cyl. engine as the Austin Healey 3000. Several well heeled university mates were heavy into many of the sports cars depicted. Some
