Old Slides

tyronet2000 · 2012-02-13T13:26:04+0000

I'm starting to go through a load of old slides from about 1990 - 1995 taken with a pentax sfxn and sigma 28 - 50mm and 50 - 210mm lenses and am looking for advice on slide/neg scanners. The one I'm using seems to give a blue cast and blow out the centre of the photo. I realise I can't make a silk purse from a sows ear but I'm sure there may be one or two worth keeping :) A couple of samples:

It's not the area for discussion of techniques, it's the Your Photos forum for discussing pictures. However, I felt the point was usefully relevant.

This becomes important because people could benefit from discussion of the techniques of slide copying, and they probably won't look in this section, which means they probably won't find it.

Best regards, John

Fair enough.

Sounds like a good PUP article topic...?

Gareth should I start a new thread somewhere else with the "Before" slides if you get time to scan and "twiddle" with the slides I sent and post your "After" scans there for comparison?

Hmm. I'm more of an 'ideas' person than a 'doing' person!
