Hi Mark, No it wasn't adjusted in PS at all. I have a cheap flatbed
scanner that has a cheap film scanner adapter and it gives mixed results
at best. I have not seen this neg printed (but I will soon) so what
your seeing is unintentional and possibly a result of an inferior
scanner? Or just you :-).
I have a friend w/ dedicated film scanner... I will scan it with his and
see if there is a difference. /matt

It's one of the 4 softening filters they give you in Photoshop.
The picture looks computer softened some how.
My early scans often looked like this i just fired one off to somebody 5
minutes ago.
..after much cloning (taking the dust out*) I'd add some noise
and get an
overall softened look)
too much noise is easy to do.
* I think i know what it is. You used the dust and scratches filter. But
set a
bit too high perhaps.
Am i right?
It does look darn soft I'm not trying to drive it into the ground, just
curious
if it was intentional, unintentional, or just me.
