Hey Tom,
I moved it here to the travel/cityscape section.
The colors and comp are wonderful and I like the inclusion of the clouds. You have a lot of grain/noise in this image and I found I had similar issues........especially of night images.........from scanned film. You may want to run a bit of noise reduction on it.........and that should take care of it.
Fully agree with Roman Might consider taking a little of the bottom to move the shoreline out of the middle !!! Let us know if you need help with the noise reduction !!!
Yes, I agree there is a noise problem in the sky. Unfortunitly, I made a bad decision to use print film on this trip. Any help you can offer on reducing it is welcome.
Hi Tom,
I used a noise reduction software called "Noise Ninja" by Picturecode. I ran it twice.........once on the sky and buildings only.......and the second time just on the sky.........it works very well for scans of film......but suggest you check it out for yourself. I do believe they have a free trial.
I also ran a bit of saturation reduction of the reds only.....as they looked a bit blown out. Let me know what you think.
Running the noise reduction twice may have been a little too much, The sky looks a little unreal. The sky in the print of this wasn't too bad if you didn't get too close. It was 9x16. I could probably do better today in CS3, I think I used Ver 6 when I did this.
Hi Roaman, I tried making a selection of the sky and ran CS3's noise reduction filter. What a difference it made. Didn't have this option when I did the orginal scan 10 years ago.
