Just dug out some old slides to scan and the results really stink.
Scanner is the HP PhotoSmart and film is an old experiment (and mistake)
with Seattle Film Works. Can i salvage this? See train example below. I
get three color edges like the layers of the film are somehow affecting
the scanner. Slides project OK, considering that everything about this
film is crap. Scanner scans old Kodachromes just fine. Any ideas? Next
thing I'm going to do is to try to find the negatives that came with
these slides. Probably out in some dusty box in the shop. Remember what
a great idea it was to have both prints _and_ slides? Gheez! What a
sucker I was. I made the mistake of taking a roll of this junk on a trip
to Central America in 1986. The trains were in a round house in
Guatemala. We also visited Frida Kahlo's house in Coyoacan and
unfortunately those shots are on this same roll. We just saw the movie
"Frida" which made me think to pull out the pictures. I have one shot of
my wife and daughter in Frida's garden which I'd like to print (daughter
then 6, has just graduated from college!) Any help appreciated.
