Nice photos even without optimisation - especially like the turtle ones.
Most image manipulation software should have a 'sharpen' function which can help restore the original print's resolution. If you need to resize an image, as well as cropping, to make it smaller, try sharpening it before you resize. Trial and error using the undo button will allow to to get a good sharpness without overdoing it.
Next to sharpness and resize, changing the colour saturation of the image and fine-tuning is a good way to improve on some images. Allows you to adjust for underwater colour tinge and make colours stand out.
Also, most photo developers can transfer your negatives straight to CDROM at the time - image quality is far better than scanning from print. |
