This picture is very important to me. A slide taken circa 1958, I believe it was Ectachrome because my Kodachrome slides don't show this red shift. The scan is 1.362"x0.86" at 1200 dpi. Is anybody willing to try to save this picture for me? This was the best I was able to do.

Wish I could help. Not a bad job, but the highlights look irretrievably blown. If you have the original transparency, maybe someone skilled could rescan?

Believe me, I know the importance of last images of those we’ve lost, especially at a young age.

Thanks Andy. I was afraid that might be the case.

Given the age of the transparency, I think you've pushed it about as far as you can go.

Thank you

Cropping and further reduction of the highlights might help a tad more. Might be worth a shot?

Thanks

Thought I would give it a try. Hope this is what your looking for.

I took a stab at it, two different approaches.

#1 I started with steve DeMott's try

#2 I started with your #4

Both were run though Photo Shop and #2 also took a trip through NIK Color Efex Pro 4

Here is another version .Done inside PS . Not sure just exactly what you wanted the finished copy to look like on your monitor . I use 100% sRGB calibrated monitors if your wondering

This won't win any awards for realism, but it might be just enough to evoke the memory.

I think all the efforts to help safeman get a good rendition of his older transparency totally embodies what UHH is all about. It's good to see the efforts here when someone needs help with a problem.
