About These three images

A)

TOP

scan of an old

picture

B)

MIDDLE:

a dry scan of the

film

for

this

picture

C)

BOTTOM:

A fluid scan of the

same

film

as in B)

Please notice the

elimination

of dust

and

scratches

on the

fluid

scan and the

uniform

and smooth

tonality that

sets

it

apart from the

other

images.

This was a large

project

involving

hundred's of

similar

old images and

the

artists

were amazed

at

the simplicity

of

the

technique and the

effectiveness

of

fluid

mounting which

saved

them

countless hours

in

digital

retouching.

Fluid

mounting

is

over 10 X

as

efficient

as

digital

dust and

scratch

removal and

in

addition

delivers

better

gradation and

impact

not

attainable

by any

other means.

Additionally, fluid

mounting

works with

all

films where

digital

IR

techniques do not

work

on silver halide

negatives like these.
