This picture was scanned by Gábor from one of my negatives, 2400dpi and
saved in a raw 16bit per RGB format (more than 47 Megabytes!).
Using my program, I analyzed the picture, remapped the

than cropped and color-enhanced it.

An artifical coloring from the top picture to show some of the details.
(Image enhancement with my program written in C/Linux, yes, under development...)

I removed the surrounding noise, thus the deep black background...
(Again, image enhancement with my program written in C/Linux...)

An other scanned picture by Gabor...
I wrote a Red/Green/Blue shifter in my program to compensate
for the optical color-shift effect...
