I think you meant "sky" here? It does look as if there could be a green
cast in the bark of the tree; however, I did not alter the image. Saying
that, I imagine that the scanner is going to alter things quite a bit.
Additional note: I just looked at the slide on the lightbox, and the slight
green castings on the tree are missing. So, something has affected the
green colors in the scanning, and the conversion to web posting.
Darn, I wish you could see the slide, it is sharp and clean.
My scanner does not do well with 35mm slides. It's "sweet spot" is in
scanning medium format film.
Best to you,
Larry

Hey Mark! Yes, the greens are especially nice when facing into the
waning sun like this. Backlighting really makes things look nice.
The 3003 is a Chinon clone, with very basic match-needle metering. I
like the old tank because it locks up the mirror when in self-timer mode.
In fact, it's probably not even a clone, it's more likely just a rebranded
Chinon (possibly a CE-10).

Yes, the scanner is limited when doing 35mm slides. It's the V700, but
frankly it is almost the same as my old Epson 2450. I think they pretty
much came up against a wall when finally reaching 2400dpi or so, and
they all made similar scans. I am going to try sharpening this tonight, and
if it makes a difference in the final web posting, I'll replace the image.

Iron strips first with books for a couple of hours and scan to tiff and sharpen if need. Ironing did make magic with my strips.

THANK YOU Attila! I have heavy blocks on top of the strips, and I'll try
what you said.
