Harsh Contrast from Slide Scanner
Hello! I have a question on slide scanning. Right now I am using the slide scanners scattered amongst my college. They are obviously not great quality but for most pictures, they get the job done. The big problem why I don't trust them is because the contrast always seems to suffer. I have 3 pictures representing 3 different steps in my processing and trying to calm the contrast. I scanned the slide at the top dpi the scanner is capable of (3600) and 16 bit color. The smallest and lowest quality image is basically a smaller version of the actual scan. How can I calm this contrast and still keep image size large enough for a good 8x12? Thanks! (now to upload the images)

Andrew: You do not say exactly which scanner you are using. However, the scanner software must have some controls for adjusting contrast. More advanced tools, such as Levels or Curves gives you even more control, but a Contrast tool is simpler to use. Cheers! Peter Burian www.peterkburian.com
