I just want to share this picture of Torc Waterfall. It was scanned from a slide taken on an Olympus Om1n. As you will realize the subject was very contrasty and needed processing using selections and levels. Comments good and bad would be welcome.

if you just started to scan, I commend you for your good work, if you have been working at it along time,,keep working, I find 35mm scans to be very grainy, so this is a good picture, good save, and good memories.

Nicely done

I'd be interested to know what equipment you used to perform the scan. This is an area I'm interested in studying as I have hundreds of slides and 35mm negatives I'd like to take digital.

You're photo here is certainly better than anything I've been able to accomlish!

Hope you don't mind the pimp John, but sometimes I find it easier to do than say how I would improve an image, especially if I can't tell just by looking at it, so a play in editing often provides the answer

Increased contrast + saturation, that's all!

This is a beautiful image John, your composition could not have been better

I was wondering what a 'pimp' is! No, of course I don't mind and thank you, the pimp is an improvement.

I use the Epson Perfection 3200 which is a flat bed scanner capable of scanning up to 5 in x 4 in negatives and A4 documents.
