DSLR vs. FILM SCAN COMPARISON
IMAGES CARLSBAD FLOWER FIELDS, SAN DIEGO COUNTY |
| This page contains a three image comparison between the Canon 1Ds, Canon 10D and a Provia F ISO100 film scan. The 1Ds and 10D images were shot in camera RAW and converted with Adobe's Camera RAW plugin. Defaults were used for conversion except no sharpening was applied. Both DSLR images were then resampled up to 5500X3600 pixels in Photoshop using bicubic interpolation. This was done to produce digital images from the DSLR image files which were approximately the same size as the 4000 dpi 35mm film scan image. No image adjustments were applied after conversion. The Provia F image was scanned with my Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED at 4000 dpi. with ICE at normal and GEM at level 2. Some minor color and tonal range adjustments may have been applied to the scan but no sharpening of any kind was applied. The white cutout represents the full resolution screen captures shown in the comparison images. A reminder that shot as camera RAW, the DSLR images have had no sharpening in any stage of image creation. |
