Some old scanned paper prints from April-May 1983 when I served my country. Taken with Cosina CX-1, Ilford HP-5 film.
For some reason, I couldn´t open the scanned pics in Capture NX2 to adjust the levels.

Once we had to ride around a lake - about 60 miles - in six hours (with the full gear). When we got back to the barracks, I was totally exhausted. When I realised, that I had to climb the stairs to the third floor I nearly collapsed. 
Two more pics:

CNX2 appears to require an embedded colour profile - I don't pretend to understand. I opened your 1st picture in PSE and used Convert to Profile (sRGB). It then opened in CNX2. The picture actually opens in ViewNX2. You could edit it there, or convert and export to CNX2.

Thak You John,
I noticed the same thing - imported the scans first to View NX2, then I was able to open them in Capture NX2.

This gives me a sudden burst of inspiration to dig out my military photos, I spent 1994-1995 in the navy. I remember it being near impossible to bring a camera to the naval base, much less shoot with it - too many restrictions. Same thing was for mobile phones  in those years quite a few already had a Nokia 2010 or what they were and it required a written permission from fleet staff |
