The Schnozz's scanner is ready and waiting for round two.

Thanks for  looking Jim--you are doing a super job keeping the list supplied 
with excellent flutterby images.

Afraid slightly overexposed and I did my best at PP.  The light was a bit harsh 
as this was later in the AM.  Ektar does not do well with under exposure as the 
shadows really  block up but may have overcompensated.  Sunny 16 can also wash 
out the colors in the Bfly's   and lack of good angle light can also  wash out 
the wing texture--Had 3 separate adjustment layers  just for highlights and 
added a touch of vibrance to recover some.  Two separate LCE layers, one for 
the flower and one for the Bfly that did help a bunch.  The scan could even 
tolater a fair amount of deconvolution sharpening, which is novel for me. I 
spent almost an hour on it.  Thought  it was OK, but some data was gone  but 
the deficits  are still visible  the  discerning eye.  I have a few images from 
 a bit earlier when the angle of light was better and less harsh  as well as 
later when some high clouds diffused the light more and exposure was better as 
well.  I liked the classic composition and nice bokeh,   I did
  not save the PSD but have a 16 bit tiff of the original scan and processed 
one. I saved  my favorite one for later processing.  I have never had such nice 
Ektar scans. Ektar 100 still scans better than the older  Porta 400  VC-2.  I 
did get a good print  with the latter of one of my favorite images His 
Mooseness expertly   scanned and processed.
