***************************
SOURCE INFO
- Original image was captured using a hand-held SEAGULL DF-300 SLR camera (an authorized Chinese clone of the Minolta X-300 / X-370) loaded with KODAK GOLD 200 color film & fitted with a SIGMA 28-200mm f3.5-5.6 Compact SLR Aspherical Hyperzoom Macro lens.
*************************
PROCESS INFO
- Digitized using a Canon Canoscan 8800F scanner.
- Image sharpness improved & film grain & noise significantly reduced using Topaz Gigapixel AI at maximum settings (which causes a slight but not displeasing "painted-oil-on-canvas" effect at 100% zoom). - Image colour density, vibrance & contrast restored using Luminar AI.
- Final fine editing using Adobe Photoshop CS (Windows).
- Image size = 6708x4434px [29.8MP] Best viewed LARGE.

POSTSCRIPT
- Overall I'm very happy with the result, given I had almost written-off the original negative (it looked very "muddy", scratched, faded & underexposed). The wonders of modern AI software!
