DSLR vs. FILM SCAN COMPARISON
IMAGES OCEANSIDE HARBOR, SAN DIEGO COUNTY |
| This page contains a 4 image comparison between the Canon 10D, Canon 1Ds, 4X5 Velvia film scan and a 35mm 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. The 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 and 1200 dpi 4X5 film scan images. No image adjustments were applied. 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. The 4X5 Velvia chrome was scanned at 1200 dpi with my Epson 2450. Some minor color and tonal adjustments were applied to the scans. No unsharp mask or any other sharpening was applied to any of the scans 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. |
