Evaluate My Photo

[taxexile]

fisherman , koh phangan

nikon f-80 , 50mm lens , scanned ektachrome 100 vs transparency.

the slide has a nasty scratch across the top that i would love to get rid off.

The colours are surreal, and the flags and sticks look as though they were cut and pasted in afterwards.

With the tools I have I am not sure I can eliminate the scratch, but with Photoshop at a pixel level it should be possible.

Anyone game to try for the OP?

[taxexile]

the picture , apart from resizing down from about 4mb , hasnt been altered at all , i think i used flash though , that might account for the colours.

Scratches and hair on original removed - photoshop healing brush.

Didn't bother to do any other mods, just showing how easy scratch removal is

[Nordlys]

Yes, color looks surreal but maybe that's the characteristics of Ektachrome/Kodachrome.

Too much JPEG block noise but otherwise OK (I'd trim the sky off a bit).

***OFF TOPIC!***Just as an FYI, tax, my husband knew the fisherman in your photo, said he died last year.

[Nordlys]

Do you (or your husband) happen to know what those flags are for sbk?

[astral]

Played around with PhotoStudio that came free with my printer..........

Here we are, clean and bright, not a scratch in sight.

PM me with your e-mail address if you want the full size file.

His niece, he was unmarried, no kids.

I really like this photo, the dark sky, the bright flags, her bright pink shirt against the boat, and her beautiful smile

[MrSquigle]

Yeah I love the second pic a lot, shame the face is not so clear, would have been excellent then.

[astral]

You really should clean the camera inside.

Another nasty scratch.
