Luminous Aspens
My third attempt at digitising this slide; here with an improved light source and a new IT8-calibrated workflow. The gamut of the original is huge, and the colour and tone of the sky in particular is very tricky to reproduce precisely. I finally feel like I've done justice to the original.
Note: this copy has an embedded P3 profile rather than the usual sRGB, as the latter simply could not render the yellows of the foliage properly. That crap standard seriously needs to be phased out. Anyway, those with wide-gamut displays should hopefully be able to enjoy it.
