I took the previous image years ago, did not know how to scan or use Photoshop..
but the old negatives were better shots.. now if I could find them (g). Who
knows what the real color is, its negative film.. all I do is neutralize the
background to RGB 30,30,30. Note the old negs were taken on Superia 400 before
Fuji ruined that film.

Looked ok on my monitor.. I calibrate it with Adobe.

Thanks Jeff, I just used SGBNR on auto mode then unsharp-mask in PS.. I think it
does a great job, I was impressed.
