First Project: Scanning

Click any image to view larger size.

Source: Color positive, reflective (photo)
Scan Resolution: 360 ppi, approx. 6x10
Issues: Needed spot healing due to dust. Looks washed out on certain monitors. Used Curves (with 'lockdown' strategy) to lighten darkest areas because the scan was too contrasted even with normal color settings on scanning software.

Scan Resolution: 360 ppi, approx. 6x10
Issues: Needed spot healing and cloning/stamping due to MAJOR dust and particles. Used Color Balance to lessen the warmth of the overall image (midtones only).









Source: B&W negative, transparent (Dierdre's)
Scan Resolution: 360 ppi, approx. 6x10
Issues: Scanned at 8bit black and white. Needed spot healing due to dust. Used Levels and Brightness/Contrast to deepen blacks; used masks on certain areas, such as the sky, to opt out of those adjustment layers because of loss of information.
