Here are some notes for someone's possible future use about what I did here.
My original scans are True Color and usually 600 dpi. When I open them with GIMP I am first prompted that they have an "embedded color profile KODAK Srgb" and I am asked if I want to convert to "RGB working space". I select "Convert". For the example scan in this post I did the following: Image Mode Grayscale Filters G'MIC Details Dynamic range increase Recover highlights set to 1.0 OK Filters G'MIC Repair Despeckle Tolerance 15 Max area 10 OK I have tested a few of my other scans and as would be expected, each of my photo scans takes a slightly differect process from the above and with different settings. I have found that many of my other scans will not need to be Despeckled. If I do play with Despeckle I have to be very careful of the settings. I have found that in some cases I can lose details that I don't want to such as bright reflections off of posts, faces etc., things that I really want to keep. I have found that setting the Tolerance rather high will help with catching many "true" speckles without losing too many wanted reflections. Again, the above is meant to be a reference to what I did with this example for someone's possible future use. This was a rather extreme example that I needed suggestions with. As would be expected, each photo will take some differences in process and settings. Bottom line though I have found that the G'MIC - Details utility seems to be a good starting point. I hope this helps others in the future.
