Dear Doruk, this is actually taken with my SLR using Kodak Gold ASA 400. Apeture priority shot with the f-stop somewhere between 18 and 22, I forget, I was snapping quite a few shots (of which this one was really the only decent one of a whole roll!) Sorry I should have mentioned these things earlier!;-)> So the colourful texture is either a product of the grain of the film, or a product of the scanning and subsequent optimization and jpegging...Anybody know more about this?...I must download that demo of the digital artifact cleaning program mentioned in an earlier thread, see if it helps. Alpha, did you get any good results with it? Thanks again all for your comments, I've posted the B&W in the gallery, but I think I'll put the coloured one in the calander comp..after I've "cleaned" it a bit..
