I'm still having problems, even with Silverfast software. Kodachromes are just hard to scan. The contrast seems to be beyond what scanners can handle but it does work better scanning as RAW and processing in Lightroom. I do have a question about color balance. The color is very different in these slides because of the light at the time. Sometimes I was in warm sunshine, sometimes in cool open shade, sometimes in dark houses. So people's skin has everything from a green tinge to an orange tinge. That's only really noticeable when they are displayed next to each other on a web site. Should I adjust the color of the skin to all be the same or should I allow for the differences in lighting? <http://tinamanley.smugmug.com/gallery/3837836_USV9B#396236971_c6eMg-A-LB> http://tinyurl.com/5g7f46 This is the last one.- #91 Hit the before button until you get to #51 and that will be all of these scans. I did two of the girl in the blue huipil to show the warm and cool differences. TIA Tina Tina Manley ASMP, NPPA, EP, PI http://www.tinamanley.com
