FLUID AND DRY SCANS FROM KODACHROME         
ScanScience Kit for Film Scanners and LUMINA Optical fluid
<

Owners of a treasure trove of Kodachrome images can now  reproduce them
    in their full beauty with ScanScience fluid mounting kits and LUMINA optical fluid.
    The BEST film scanners  emphasize the peppery grain of Kodachrome.
    Fluid scanning  enhances those scanner's by undoing the artifacts of dry scanning.  

           ABOUT THE IMAGES:
    FILM  KODACHROME 64. - Camera:  Lens:  ZEISS Perpective Correction Lens, 35 mm. on a Contax camera. Location,
    Atlanta.
    SCAN: Scanned on a Canon film scanner FS 4000 @ 4000 dpi, at 16 bit color depth. Scanned file size 124 MB.   Colour
    space Lindbloom Beta-RGB.
    No color or contrast adjustments were made during the scan or afterwards and no sharpening was used.  

    The original image was enlarged 500% and cropped.  The images in the top row are sized to fit the maximum page
    width allowable  in the web design software.  The larger images below are a practical size that allows for more detailed
    viewing

    Observations:  
  • In the fluid scan, the window frames show higher contrast and are better defined  and  grain is smoother and more
    neutral.
  • The over all appearance of the fluid mounted image is distinctly cleaner than the 'normal' dry mount.
  • The peppery, magenta look of Kodachrome 64 is due to the artifacts of light striking the dry grain and does not occur
    when fluid mounted.
