Baby on a Merry-Go-Round

@Mike: Thanks. Certainly different film stocks have different properties. One of the things I've been noticing, now that I have a higher resolution scanner, is how much grain is apparent in film, versus digital noise, at the same ISO. It seems, though, that it should be possible to process a digital image to imitate a given film look. I've seen filters for doing this with B&W images, and I suppose if I had more expensive software there would be similar color filters.

@MadScientist: Very great people to me: my wife and youngest son, taken many years ago (he's almost out of college now).

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks. I guess the question is --is it the film, or the subject? I don't know the answer. I didn't make any color adjustments to the image. That itself begs the question of whether the scan is faithfully representing the color of the negative. Since I have no idea what the film gamut is, or how it fits the color space of the scanner/monitor gamut, I don't know whether true fidelity is even possible. I scanned it for a full histogram (no clipping) and used the scanner's automatic dust and scratch removal function.

@danthro: Unfortunately, I don't remember what they were looking at.
