Always interesting to see that some liveries do stand the test of time. America West still looks good.

Skymonster,

Can you let us know what scanner make/model you were using (and at what resolution) to get such good images from K64?

Thanks

Thanks for all the comments…

Dee747,

Its a Nikon Coolscan IV-ED (dedicated film scanner, not a flat-bed). I think it does something like 3000dpi – a full frame final scanned image from a 35mm slide come out at something around 4000 pixels across so I guess the maximum resultion might actually be 3500dpi (I obviously then downsize the image in Photoshop LE for posting on airliners.net and/or here). The scanner includes some software called Nikon Scan which will load as a Twain driver for Photoshop LE. It took quite a whileof messing with the software settings to get what I think are optimum settings for quality, smoothness and colour density, but now its all set up its just a case of clicking on the scan button.

Superb photos.
the quality is so clear, as if they were taken yesterday!

It’s scarey when I think I was just 10 yrs old when you snapped these off.

God I feel old

You can’t beat that mid twenties crisis feeling (lol) 😀

Great shots Andy, get that scanner working more often. Needless to say 10 was a memory for me then too. :diablo:

You’re as young as you feel… and with a cough like that you must be old! Unlike skymonster who sounds perfectly healthy! :diablo:
