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?

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

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.

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

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

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

You really should clean the camera inside.

Another nasty scratch.
