ah I knew it couldn't be that ugly gray that it became in some of the
renditions..
Powder blue and aqua were popular back then..

My scanner is an epson 4990. I guess I need to figure out how to get a
better scan first! I did try to use some of the "advanced" features,
but obviously too low rez.

Hi Gonz - from your low-res Flickr image, I used the following process in PS:
Auto Tone
Auto Colour
Auto Contrast
Image Adjustments:
Brightness reduced
Contrast +10%
Shadows/Highlights:
Mid-Tones +15%
And then resized it to 300dpi
The result is at

not brilliant, but perhaps it would work better on a decent scan.

Subject: How do I correct an old image like this?
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?
