Excellent shot and work here James. An instant fave.
Hey – congrats.
reflector replied
Hi Lindsay ! Thanks for your comment and the fave ! Last night I had a bit of fun scanning old B & W photos and improving their tones a bit. It’s great to see them on screen.
linskudd
I agree re the scanning. I found it all worth while – and it means that all the family can have computer copies of any or all of the photo’s.
reflector replied
Yes, that’s a great benefit as well. :)
