Just scanned a few slides in from the above date.

Or cat pics! ;-) All scanned in from transparencies. https://www.flickr.com/photos/whiskydave Browsed the first two pages; nice memories. Looks like some of the first page's flight pics could stand to have its sky cleaned up, but that's probably pretty laborious to do in post. Have you thought about any methods that would be relatively painless? -hh |

I can think of several easy ways, none of which should take more than ten minutes. 1. Use the select subject tool and put in a new sky. 2. Put a blank layer on top,m and clone the clean sky over the dust and scratches. 3. Use the spot removal tool. 4. Put in a textured background, and mask out the plane. -- PeterN |

I tried afinity photos dust and scratch removal but that was also useless on slides, but it did give some interesting effects a cross between surealism and impressionism. Dust and clean slides, put them into a modern filmscanner with an IR channel and then scan with propper soft like Vuescan... -- teleportation kills |

Dust and clean slides, Couldn't be bothered they aren't that important to me. put them into a modern filmscanner with an IR channel I wasnt; prepared to buy such a scanner and how would IR channel impove things ? That's that makes ICE possible... Most in this collection has it: https://www.parkcameras.com/c/21/scanners?p=1&q=21&by=5&v=0&me=st&f=br:11|br:65|ca: 21&x=ca|br I have the OpticFilm 8200i SE... You would crave the Perfection V850 Photo, me guess! and then scan with propper soft like Vuescan... That's what I did use. Youp, way better than the version of SilverFast that came with my scanner. -- teleportation kills |

Â* your point being? That *proper* scanning is a lot of work? I was responding to nospam. However, I agree that proper scanning is indeed a lot of work. When I digitized my slides, I hired a high school kid to do it. He had access to a professional slide scanner. he scanned them all at the highest resolution, I have forgotten what it was, but they all came out as I hoped they would. I did spend a lot of time selecting those slides I wanted to scan, I had several thousand, but I did not want them all scanned. My selection process took several weeks. -- PeterN |
