I purchased the slide and film copy attachment for my Nikon. I found this 30 year old negative and thought I would see what happened. Copied in B&W as the negative. Reversed, cleaned and increased the contrast. This may open a whole new source for images, about 30 years of color negs on file and the pre 1970 negatives in B&W.

This still presents a weak image. There is some work to learn how to get the best copies. One thing is shoot a well lighted white wall as the light source. lots of diffusion and easy color compensation. While I'm here! does anyone know the color temp of hologen work lights? They are rugged and inexpensive. They might make good studio lights with diffuser screens.

Alpha, The Photoshop work does improve the results! I have also copied some Ektachrome from our honeymoon 43 years ago. It is a real mess. I was not stabilized correctly and has lots of color shift,etc. The good part is with modern tools I can salvage small prints. It does not impress the wife though, because the girl in the pictures is a beautiful 26.

I love the sentiment S. The photo is like a time capsule, isn't it?? Looking forward to seeing some more old ones. Diane

Oooo, there are always something magical in these old photos. Like totally different world, strange peaceful happy place. Like dream. .n
