[Leica] Kodachrome Scans

[John McMaster]

It is a very poor colour input, you are missing so many values that I cannot imagine getting the best result out...  Did the original Kodachrome look that colour?

Here is a straight scan of Kodachrome using the Nikon LS5000.  This is
using Vuescan's profile for Kodachrome with Light cleaning applied on
import:

Here is the same scan after I have color corrected (based on the castle
wall) and applied a little Dehaze which I like because of the details it
brings out in the background.  It does also bring out the grain but, as I
said, I like grain in film photos.

This is Kodachrome from 1976 in a cardboard mount with square corners
instead of the rounded corners they used later.

I can understand how some would prefer the original scan with less grain
but I don't.

Thanks!

Tina
