If you’ve had the pleasure of converting film slides of days gone by to the digital format, you may have experienced that bittersweet feeling of excitement mingled with a tinge of disappointment upon first viewing the dust, debris and tiny fibers accumulated by storage over the years in the scanned result.
Building on a recent post, Digitally Converting Slides and Negatives with Jumbl, in this video tutorial we’ll take a look at a few simple techniques to help reverse the ravages of time and bring new life back to these important keepsakes by way of Adobe Photoshop CC.
In Summary:
- Common color casts of Kodachrome vs Fujichrome
- Correcting Purple color casting via White Balance adjustment
- Hue/Saturation color-shifting and de-saturation
- Highlight & Shadow adjustments
- Noise Reduction and Edge Sharpening
- Straightening Images via Lens Corrections
- Restoring color and detail via Graduated Filters
- Enhancing Depth of Field via creative Tilt-Shift Blur
- Enhancing color and detail via single-image HDR in Photomatix Pro
Thanks for visiting, as always. I hope you find the information helpful. If you have any questions along the way, please leave them in the comments section below or feel free to drop me a line at [email protected].
Happy restoring.. Look forward to catching you next time.
Hi,
I’m really enjoying all the excellent tips and basic information the PHotofocus provides but I ahve a question. When I click on the link here:
“Building on a recent post, Digitally Converting Slides and Negatives with Jumbl , …” I am taken to : //photofocus.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fphotofocus.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D59550%26action%3Dedit&reauth=1
which has nothing to do with Photofocus. Instead it invites me to open a WordPress account. Do I need to do that?
Please advise.
Warm regards,
Carol
Thank you, Carol! Not at all – I had the wrong link attached, appreciate you bringing it to my attention. Should be good to go now. My apologies and thank you again. :)
