Yes, precisely. They say a good 8X10 can be made. The scans are not
terribly over compressed as Chuck pointed out, so an easy fix is likely
out.
The solid color areas seem to have lost all tonal subtlety. My
previous scans had dust, some noise and occasional artifacts, but were
otherwise pretty good--at least I could usually fix them. I am not
good enough to fix these, and even if I could, would likely rather get
out a paint brush rather than a lens. I e-mailed the manager, but am
not holding my breath for any response.
Thanks, all.
