Hi!
Does anybody know how to process a scan of Kodachrome?

I think contrast is too high and the image is too dark in general. Furthermore I see blue and green dominating.

Is it a good idea to use it8, but increase gamma in the options tab to say 2.6-2.8?

Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

There's a very good article on How to scan Kodachrome here:

http://www.marginalsoftware.com/LS2000N ... _caseI.htm

The article is written with the Nikon LS-2000 in mind, but you can apply the methods the author used to other scanners if you have a basic understanding of curves. Make sure you follow the links in the article for further examples and instructions.
