Picturing: Great Lakes Freighter Saguenay (Toronto)



My first scan from a slide using the HP FilmScan 5" Touch Screen Film Scanner. I'm pretty happy with the results. The colour is nicely saturated, as is the amount of density and fine image detail. For a consumer machine, that's all most users would need or want. I did very little image manipulation; it's pretty as-is. Next, Lightroom.


Postscript: with 'reversal' film, which is what slide film is, image results tend to be best when the camera's exposure setting is at about one-third of a stop under so-called 'normal'.
