I don't have a lot of experience scanning Kodachrome (read next to none). I happened to have this old Kodachrome in my briefcase. It was a picture of my Dad's family taken in 1954 when he was a teenager. Inherited a load of old pictures when my grandmother passed away. Location is unknown. I'm guessing either Indiana or Colorado Springs.

This was scanned with a Konica-Minolta Dimage Scan Dual IV. Maximum resolution 3200 DPI. No color correction, contrast enhancement, digital ICE, etc. Slight crop and USM and resizing. It's obviously a dirty piece of film. I blew it off with compressed air.

I don't know what to expect for a 50-51 year old slide scan. Obviously not a great picture in it's own right. But I think the results are decent.

Tells alot about my family as I look at it. My Aunt Claudia is pouting even as a young child. My father, Michael, sitting on the right (who I always thought I looked like) actually looks more like my younger brother, and my son bears a resemblance as well. I look most like my grandfather, Elint (especially seeing pictures through his life). My grandmother is Carla, and the boy on the left is my Uncle Phil. Not that this is important.

Just wanted to try a Kodachrome scan with the Minolta.
