I thought it was interesting how in the crop comparison, the effective low pass filtering on the worse scan makes it look better to my eyes.
Don't get me wrong, the better scan is still much better. The correct way if you want to go for that effect is to get the better scan and then explicitly apply whatever low pass filtering you want, not to low pass filter with a less detailed scan. But I thought it was a neat demonstration. Like squinting your eyes.
- bscphil 4y ago> low pass filtering The grain baked into the negative is widely considered a visually desirable property of shooting with these high end analog cameras.
- anyfoo 4y agoYeah, and I also have to say that my "looks better" likely only applies to seeing a small part of the image magnified to an intense amount, not when viewing the image the part comes from itself. Still, I thought it was a neat demonstration, that's all. I see "more" on the right side: The weird patterns in the windows become actual reflections (as they are), and the building gains more 3-dimensionality (a part of it is obviously recessed).
