When I look at old pictures that are throwaways and nothing more, I wince more if they happen to be Kodachrome. Gee, I think, I wasted that precious stuff on nonsense. Anyone else look at old slides with feelings like this?

At risk of breaking down, I post a Kodachrome also taken 40 years ago.

Alan has it

You can often get part of the way by loading the image, click with white 'dropper' on the lightest area, 'black dropper" on the darkest area...

 

Where do I find these droppers on PS Elements?

I bought my FM2 as soon as it appeared on the market. When taking someone to the a waterpark I saw an opportunity to test the highest shutter speed. Bingo! This is from 1981 or 1982. Crummy film, but you get the idea.

Perhaps not a great fix, but I've used it on some of my old photos I've attempted to resurrect. In this case I used GIMP.

Looks better.

Forty years ago, I shot a roll of that filmstock stuff from Hollywood. Now the colors have all gone icky. Anyone else have this problem? BTW, I have the same problem with old Agfachrome. Will any software repair this?

I just upgraded my Elements 11 to 22. When I click on the desktop icon, the software says it is deownloading something; I should come back later. But later--even overnight--I get the same message. How can I get around this? I still have version 11, but the new software has features I need. Anyone else suffer this?

Color?

A clerk at B&H told me today that so many people are using film that the manufacturers are six months behind on orders! B&H is sold out of 35mm.

I was in the NYC B&H store today to get film. They are sold out of 35mm. The clerk said, "So many people are shooting film that the manufacturers can't keep up." He said they won't have 35mm film for the next six months.

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As close to a thug as a cat can be.

I took this with an M3 and a 50mm Summicron, 4th version. Is this the Leica look? It is indeed different.

 

A photo you can handle. Now go back to your stakes and matches.

How about purchasing on Amazon:

You know Amazon better than I. I couldn't find this item on their site.

You come across as yet another film shooting pervert. Was it worth it?

 

You come across as a troll who is always looking to make a putdown.

The lens here was a 50mm f1.7 Rokkor MD

 

Taken with an 85mm 1.4 Nikon AIS lens.

 

Why lines in the first one?

Scratches on the film.
