ben pez Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi Found an old slide that my late grandfather took in the 60s at bradford of three jubilees stood next to each other Although the quality is poor due to the lighting & probably camera at the time. Can anyone kindly photo edit the image to make it better? Thanks in advance Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted March 9, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2015 I've had a very quick try, but the dark section at the bottom has no real detail and has become very "blocky" I'm sure other people can do it much better. A slightly bigger uploaded file might help. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben pez Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Many thanks for that david,really is appreciated. I'll have to try and upload a bigger file,not really sure on that though,as i just copy & pasted it from my photobucket account. Thanks again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I couldn't match DaveF's attempt, but I tried a different hue. I am amazed that this reasonable amount of detail can be coaxed out of the original at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Interesting how each of us interprets the picture slightly differently. I've cropped it slightly too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkeNd Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Davef's result is remarkable from this scan. As the OP states the underexposure of the main subject in the original slide is a real problem and the small scan resolution output as a JPEG causes further issues.Having the slide commercially scanned by a professional lab is probably the most accessible solution. A 50 Mb TIFF file would be a better proposition - and the original scan could be set to remove the colour cast and tackle the shadow detail. I suggest a genuine pro lab and not one of the cut price places which would give you just an enprint sized scan on a CD. From personal experience I suggest Palm Labs 69 Rea Street BirminghamB5 6BB Telephone 0121 622 5504 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
