Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Test: scanned photo

Post by cHabu »

Hiya,

Bought a new all-in-one printer/scanner and tried to scan an old photo.
Did some basic photoshop editing and am ready for your comments:

A photo, taken in 2003 at LEMU (Muchamiel Alicante Airport).

Bye, Chris.

For me it looks OK!, especially for a scanned picture the quality is good. Only the dots in the left upper corner look like dirt.

Not bad Chris. Colors seem a bit harsh but I guess that is caused by a mid-day sun.
What's the brand of your scanner?
Groeten, Regards,

Thanks for the tip. Didn't notice the spots myself.

Epson Stylus Photo PX810FW (wifi/network). And yes, photo was taken around noon, in the Spanish sun... ;)

Rgds, Chris.

Looks nice. What format do the original photos have?
I've got pretty much the same results by just digitally photographing a 10x15cm photo. It all depends on the quality of the original photo.
