Crummy to Better
This is the original photo, scanned on the Epson V600.
This one (above) is cleaned up using Epson Scan and Digital Ice, along with post in On1 Photo 10 and LR 6.
The one below is with the Noise / Dust and Scratch Removal in PS6. Â Sadly, it softens the leaves in the trees. Â I wonder if sharpening it in LR would help.
I have been putzing around with different ways to do post processing of film . . . a lot of work, but maybe worth it for keepers.
Trail a la Lomo
Hmmm. Â The images I get back from the photo lab are grungy. Â They arrive grungy. Â Using the Epson V600, I find crud everywhere.
With this picture, I moved it around on the scanner to decide if it was the neg or the scanner, and the neg won.
I cleaned the image with PEC-12, and the crud disappeared – a bit.
Then different settings in Epson Scan. Â Final settings which produced acceptable results were 2400 dpi, 48 bit color, digital ice, and medium unsharp mask. Â Final clean up in On1 Photo 10 and LR. Â Film was Kodak Ektar 100.
Mexican Sage
Last weekend I went up to the local botanical gardens with three different film cameras, each loaded with different film. Â I just wanted to use them up! Â I haven’t sorted out what film is with what picture, or what camera, but once I do sit down – this weekend – it will be interesting to see what combinations end up being my favorite(s).
Agfa Isolette iii and Epson V600
I decided to try a medium format camera – an Agfa Isolette iii – and a scanner for film – the Epson V600. Â These are scans directly out of the scanner, scanned at 3200 dpi, 48 bit, with dust and Digital Ice turned on. Â They are pretty cruddy, and I don’t if the lab developed the film was not too clean, or if there is just schmutz on the scanner or film. Â Regardless, this is just a foray into a new-to-me adventure. Â Click on the images for a better idea as to what they look like. Â Let me know what you think!
