[APML] Comet pic to mess with



Hi all,
 
After looking through my moms photo album, I came across this pic of a comet that my mom says I took....funny thing is, i dont remember taking it!
 
Odd....anyways, I decided to scan it and see what I could do with it to bring the comet to light.
Here is the before and after result.

Im not satisfied with it but considering the severe vignette, i guess its better then what I expected.
 
The before pic is scanned at 800 dpi for any of you to try yourselves.
 
Have fun,
Brian

All,
 
On the topic of scanners, has anybody noticed the Epson Perfection 2450 PHOTO Scanner?  I saw it for $349 dollars.  Its a 2400x4800 optical resolution flatbed with a 4"x 9" transparency adapter unit built in.
 
I realize that its not a dedicated film scannner, which are far more expensive, but are there any thoughts on how this would be for an intitial foray into scanning?  I have been having my film scanned when processed and have gotten back uneven results. At times the processor hasn't even burned a disc because the photos "didn't turn out" according to them--despite my instructions to scan everything.
 
I'm not sure my skills are at a level yet where I want to go to the expense of a film scanner, or to sending them out to a specialized processor. 
 
 
 Regards,
 
Darin E. Fields

Tony,
 
It was FIVE times that amount when it first came out, but who's counting <g>.  (Only those of us who bought one when it first came out).

Donnie,
 
    I have seen refurbished Polaroid Sprintscan 35 Plus scanners with a warranty for $400... in my experience this has been a real work horse and produces excellent results... it used to cost four times that amount... this is a deal.
