…it’d be best if you can create a 19201660 resolution file instead of 12551080…
…downrez the corrected file to 1920*1660 (approx) and share it with us.This, please! 😄
Also, how would you go about brightening the dark parts? Gamma correction? Because I would advise against just raising the brightness, because that would simply wash-out the image (blacks become grey, etc.).
I think the scenes would be best served by staying as dark as they are on the scan, but with as much crushed detail retrieved as possible without making the image literally brighter (I have zero knowledge about how possible this scenario is under the digital circumstances).
In my opinion the scan should be done “AS IS.” As I said in an earlier post, in Photoshop CS3 there is an option called “Exposure,” a term which amateur or professional photographers should be aware of. Now, In the exposure option I decreased “Gamma”, and all the details that were lost in the black crush were retrieved. Next I adjusted the brightness and contrast a bit, only for the black levels, that’s it. A little bit more detail can be gained by lowering the contrast.
But I don’t know how it can be done on photoshop. Some Pshop versions allow video editing, image adjustment. I think Adobe after effects does the job easier, though I have no knowledge of that software.
Image adjustment could be done in Adobe Premiere as well. So it can be done. But we need the Raw Scan.
