The picture lacks saturation of colors and looks to be grainy, but the grainy part can be coolly ignored. I think if you could add some saturation and sharpness by using Overlay option in layers, slide down to midway where ur image looks good visually. Trust me it should get more punch, maybe some Unsharp Mask to throw in between 60 - 75%, 1 n 1.

Yep - I think she did it, too. Is this the first time, or the first of many...?

Hi, Thanks for looking and posting your comment. You are right about too much grain. I am having some software problems and the heavy grain was used to mask some other defects. New software is on the way and I hope to be posting much better images soon.

The seagulls seemed willing to pose. Of about 8 rolls of film, these are the only ones worth posting, even by my low rooky standards. The actual prints are much nicer. The transition from paper to internet is not going very well. I'm in the process of upgrading software and hope to have a lot better images soon. Thanks for looking and the kind words.

Great idea. A complete bike in one photo! (Perhaps a little to much grain effect?)

I'm using a several different softwares. I have a VERY limited version of photoshop with my scanner but I don't like it. I am mostly using IrfanView for basic editing, Polaroid Photomax SE for special effects, and MS Paint for artwork and heavy editing. This combination does ok for artistc abstracts, but is coming up way short on crisp clean images.

Shawn, Cool photos. What type of image software are you using? If you are using Adobe Photoshop or Paintshop look at how to adjust the "Levels". In photoshop elements it is in the Enhance dropdown menu. You want to move the sliders so that they are covering only the areas of the Histogram (graph) that have information. this will help clean up a lot of the noise that you are seeing. Call me and I'll help you out if you need more info. Robin

Well composed. The colors are a bit flat, I would increase contrast. That might give the image a sharper look also.

You were at the right place at the right time. It's too bad that the picture isn't focus and the colors look very dull. Keep up the good work.

Hi Shawn, I guess I can't help much there, but there are devices available to calibrate your monitor as well, for fairly reasonable prices. Maybe it's time to invest in a new scanner, or even a digital camera!
Good luck, Dave.

Better software would be a good start but I think I'm running into more than software problems. I think my biggest problem is my scanner. If my images looked as good on the computer as they do in the original prints, I would be thrilled. Also I'm having trouble with computer monitor settings. I have 3 computers at home and 1 at work, The images look completely different on each machine. Last but not least is the lack of skill to make it all work.
