[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 823379, member: 50197"] I copied a couple more this morning. Many of them are very grainy. I don't remember my slides being that grainy back in the day. Maybe I was just used to grain when film was the only thing going. Topaz Denoise helps, and also gives a little sharpening. Hard to know for sure what are issues with the original image, and which are degradation over the years. These slides are around 45 years old. Some were taken with Kodachrome, some Agfachrome, and some, who knows what. I always preferred Kodachrome, but couldn't always afford it. The other issue is that I wasn't much of a photographer at the time. I'm still not much of a photographer, but have improved. I find that editing them requires some new skillsets. I'm not entirely happy with all the results. I also notice that several looked better in LR, than the exported version look when posted here on the forum. For example, the first one seems a little too dark here. It seemed about right in LR or Photo Viewer.
