I color balanced, boosted the saturation, widened the dynamic range and raised the midtones
http://thornsberry.smugmug.com/photos/2717114-M.jpg For color balance I used the piece of paper in the lady's hand, the weathered post and the shadow under one of the boats. I believe more could be done with a file with more resolution and less compression. I would have like to have run this one through Neat Image. I didn't bother to do any spotting. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lasse Karlsson Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 8:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WOW: To rescue a family photo From: "Larry Hodgson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I've kind of lost track on we we're at (been out of town).

Alright, Dave said he'd find a shot for us to start with, but obviously hasn't found the time to do it yet. In the meantime I will provide the following shot and invite any volunteers to have a go at it and see what you can do. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2187459 This is a (small size) scan I made of one of my mother's negs. It's a shot from a trip to Holland in the early 70:s. When I saw the scan I thought: What a pity, the neg has obviously deteriorated beyond possible reconstruction. I guess many of us have already have or will run into similar experiences. But is it really lost? Anyone find it interesting enough to try and have a go at it? See what you can do, show us the results and tell us what you did? Volunteers can post their finished versions to me and I can upload it alongside the original. (I will also show you what I came up with, although I must admit I have completely forgotten how I did it.) Lasse
