pauledell Posted April 13, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 13, 2014 Howard, A nice shot with great composition, lovely colors and sharpness. Quite grainy. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
}{B Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted April 13, 2014 Howard, A nice shot with great composition, lovely colors and sharpness. Quite grainy. Paul Thanks. I thought the grain was the result of my adjusting the amount of Aqua in the scan. I had reduced saturation to -100 and increased Hue to +100 in Lightroom but I've just tried bringing these back to 0 and the grain is still there. I'll be up that way again in May and I'm trying to decide whether to buy more Ektar or whether to use a mix of Ilford Delta for black and white and my Fuji X100 for digital colour. No doubt I'll end up taking some of each and using whatever suites the weather conditions best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen other pictures using Ektar without the clumping. Is it possible the processing of the film may be the culprit. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan2010 Posted April 14, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 14, 2014 Hi Howard, in Photoshop is a feature "reduce noise" (don't know exactly in english, I have the german version). I just tried with this feature and the grain is reduced a lot. I had similar experiences with Ektar after sharpening the picture. May be Portra is better for your needs Stefan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible the processing of the film may be the culprit. Paul I think the answer lies in the adjustments I made in Lightroom. I've created a duplicate of the photo and then reset all the adjustments, including sharpening, so that it shows it as it came out of the scanner and the clumping has disappeared. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I did try noise reduction but didn't like the result. I think I'm going to have to be less enthusiastic with my Lightroom adjustments especially as regards the blue of the sky.
