#firstworldproblems: You’re holding a slide in your hand and look at a light source, and the image seems fine. You put the slide into your handheld slide viewer and the flashlight bulb shows the image just fine. But then you put that slide in your $150 flatbed scanner or your $300 negative scanner, and what you get is either mostly washed out or mostly darkness. The scanning program’s tools help to normalize this a little but you still wind up using photo software to make it look right.And that’s what I have to say about these four slides; they didn’t seem that overexposed or underexposed to my eye in good light but to the computer’s eye they were on the extremes. More samples from the 216 slides I bought at an antique store the other day… The frames’ captions:Mom - Trieny ‘53Dad, Candy, and I on horses [no year]Casa Grande, Ariz.
