The first image had virtually no processing. The image was basically SOOS -- that is, straight out of scanner. I took this photo 31 years ago with a Minolta STR101 and Kodachrome 35mm slide film.
I just bought a Epson V600 scanner and am digitizing my slide collection. I quickly found that there is only so much resolution in the old slides. I am scanning at 800 dpi and producing files of approximately 3000 x 4800 pixels. The level of resolution does not justify scanning at higher resolution. As noted, even at 800 dpi, the grain is evident.
Post processing enhancements really do not work well with these small jpeg files. I suppose I would have a bit more latitude if I saved as Tiff but in addition to the limited resolution, my photos are basically vacation snapshots exhibiting minimal skills as a photographer.
I am posting an attempt at post processing. I was able to pull a little more detail out of the shadows and I blurred some of the graininess in the sky.
