washed out in photo editors
Hi,
I'm a rank beginner, so please have mercy. I have a couple slides I scanned that look fine in Windows Photo/Fax Viewer (or whatever it is you get when you click on a .jpg in XP). However, one of them looks totally washed out (like 5 shades lighter) and streaky when I open it in a photo editor - I used Arcsoft and Gimp. It's got a dark background, but I've tried others that also are dark and they look OK in the editors. Now, this particular slide is from a rock concert, Ektachrome 400 pushed to 800, so it's not your average snapshot. But how come it looks OK in the standard MS viewer, even when I blow it way the heck up?? And what's the picture **really** look like, if I ever get around to putting it up on a Web site? Thanks in advance, Pat |
