I???m not sure how you got them off of a slide.
I'm not 100% sure it came from a slide - I'm working from a scanned image. I know it has to be from film, because the picture was taken in 2000. The pixel dimensions of the scan suggest it's from the Nikon LS-30 scanner. I agree that it looks like noise in the blue channel. And while the LS-30 does a better job with slides than the HP PhotoSmart scanner it replaced, it's still going to have a hard time with parts of the image that are nearly black (especially if the shot is somewhat under-exposed). -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
