Next to trading e-mails with Seahawk and MaxPower and got some interesting information. Sorry for the rash and so on. Now the best-off made up of some items from Stefan, Jid and Mike Bajcar (from the blue rival)
Foreword
A good news, the self-catering outlet's scanner was properly reset by somebody else who used the Nikkon Coolscan a couple of days ago. let's cross fingers it will stay untouched !
as most of the staffers will say "I have no idea and let alone how's the going with slides" ...
Next to importing the Coolscan to PS 6.0 (!)
I first added the Digital ICE by setting it on normal, it helps quite greatly in cleaning.
Then business as usual with the input and digitalization leading to PS canvas
Once at the initial canvas, I
levelled the pic
resized to 1024 by 6hundred and something
checked anyway for dust spots left alive by Digital ICE .... by duplicating the canvas, a call by Image-Adjust-Equalize as the far bottom
went to Image-Adjust-Levels
average setting Black to 20/23, white to 1,08/1,10, grey to 240 or so, pressed OK
back to Image-Adjust-Levels
selected the grey eye dropper
went to curves and raised the tonal bar to a slight 126 by 129
went to brightness/contrasts, set contrasts to + 10 %
went to Hue/Saturations, set saturations to + 12 %
selected the magic wand and inverted for USM
sharpened a first time to + 150%, 0.2, 0
back to brightness/contrast, brightened by an average 25 %
back to USM and sharpen to + 70%, 0.2 and 0
Sharpen edges one time
Record
Quality to 12
Your comments welcome
