One of the problems with scanning all those negatives is that they are really not as good as the original prints. That doesn't bother me so much because I can go back and get the original prints if I need them. It would be nice to fix up selected scans that would take care of noise and sharpness. I tried Topaz several years ago and it seemed to work pretty well. So I got a new subscription and started playing around. Early results are that it works well. Of course there is a limit to how much it can do. Anyway I went back to photos I took on our third Philmont trek in 2001 and picked one to work on. Here are the results. Top is unedited and bottom is the edited version. Very nice rendition. I cropped this in so you could see the differences. The main effect is reduction in noise.
