Best "fixes" for old film

I just had some 35mm film processed and digitized that was app 20 years old.  What are the best corrections or fixes to apply first to make them look better?  They are washed out, grainy and lack detail.

It's difficult to say without seeing an example. Could you log-in to the forum on the web and post a jpeg?
I would generlly start in the basic panel, perhaps tweaking exposure and then moving the highlights slider left and the shadows slider right - but back off if the effect looks overdone. I would then tackle the extreme ends of the histogram by adjusting the whites and blacks.
Finally I would go to the detail tab for noise reduction.
If you can get one photo looking reasonably good, you could then select all of the others in the film strip and sync the settings. You will probably need to go throught them all individually, but it might give you a good starting point for using other adjustments like curves or selective tools like the graduated filter.

    What's the best fix for a slow computer?

    What model computer? What are your primary uses and apps?
    First thing anyone can do is replace or upgrade the system boot drive to SSD. Makes a very nice improvement.
    How new or old is it? What version of OS X is it running?
    Maybe it won't run faster but could run better with more RAM.
    Take a look at all the tabs in Activity Monitor. If not on the Dock, go into Applications/Utilities and open it and keep it on the dock. Can tell you what is using your processor the most, RAM usage, disk and network I/O.
    Don't install things that aren't needed. That can be counter intuitive to some but 'less is more' and some just really pull a computer system down. Security programs, "clean up programs" and others.

  • Settings for old film look

    I'm new here and need some help, or I mean lots of help. I am sure these are simple but....
    1) I have a Canon XHA1S and Adobe Premiere CS4 and need to know how to get the lines effect in the film to make it look old and scratched?
    2) How do I get the old yellowed look from the color correction, right? Or do I need a filter?
    3) One last question, How do I get black and white if i wanted?
    Thanks and appreciate your time.

    Digieffects has been coming out with some sweet, very cheap moduals based on plug-ins they bought from Buena Software and Walker FX.
    Camera Mapper is amazing, it makes camera projection a snap (even better than PS's Vanishing point). You could build amazing 3d Matte Paintings and backgrounds with it.
    The equally amazing photoreal Falloff Lighting fills a huge gap in AE's light/3d system. Having the option for inverse/square (in plain english: it gives you option to make AE's light actually work like a real light does).  A bargain at 50 bucks.

  • Best Browser For Old/Slowing Snow Leopard?

    I have an iMac desktop from mid 2008 running Snow Leopard, software up to date, 2.66 Ghz Core 2 Duo, & 2GB RAM. I have Safari, Firefox, Opera, & Chrome. Safari used to have a lot of issues until the last 2 updates for it came and it works fine now, but is a total RAM hog and is pretty slow if I have more than 2 tabs. Firefox not so much, but is slow compared to Safari & Chrome. Chrome would be my choice as it handles everything very well, but since a few months ago Chrome would randomly disconnect from the internet after browsing a few pages and I would have to quit and then relaunch Chrome. This happens regardless of whether or not I have other applications that use internet connection running. Chrome never cuts out if I'm just on youtube, so I use Safari for non Flash pages & Chrome for youtube almost exclusively. Opera... feels like a dead horse at this point. I would like to know if there are any other fast, lightweight browsers that run well on Snow Leopard that may be comparable to Chrome, or if anyone has encountered my problems with Chrome and has a fix (I've tried deleting & using appcleaner and reinstalling as well).

    Personally, I would ditch any Google software, including, Chrome as it is a total OS X resource hog.
    https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95319?hl=en
    I have, also, stopped using the Google search engine regularly (due to Google's privacy policies or lack thereof) and I now use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine.
    Also,your OS X 10.6 version of Safari is out of date and has not had any security updates for quite awhile.
    Your best bet is to just stay using Moziila FireFox, and no other browser, as it gets regularly updated by the great developers of the Mozilla group.
    The current, up-to-date version of FireFox is STILL fully compatible with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Also, as previously mentioned, your year and model Mac can take up to 6 GBs of RAM.
    This will speed up processes considerably and will help alleviate some of your slowdown issues.
    If you live in the U.S. , Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
    OWC (macsales.com) has the proper RAM module or kit needed to get your Mac to the 6 GB RAM total limit.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/6400DDR2S6GP/
    RAM is user installable and is, relatively, easy to install be newbie and novice Mac users.

Older apps transfered to the device with Device switcher can cause issue if not compatable with OS 6. On device go to Options, Device, Application Management is a great way to see what your apps are doing with your CPU usage on #Torch. Just slide top bar to CPU and see what is going on. Also touch the CPU menu to see other time variables. I found out that an app was eating away CPU cycles on mine and the charger was unable to keep up. My Torch and charger were both very warm and I noticed the charge indicator was not showing it being charged at times.

    If you're having a problem after upgrading to OS5, downgrade back to 4.7.  OS5 has too many bugs that need fixed.

    Any Pros? Cons? How would that work? I am in a situation where I can exchange a USB 3.0 external hard drive (I totally didn't know 2011 iMacs didn't have USB 3.0 ports) with an Ethernet equipped (network) external hard drive.

    I would go firewire even if the ethernet is rated 1Gbit/sec

  • Yikes. Is RESTORING my iPhone the best fix for my loss of contacts after downloading IOS6?

    Hello All,
    I downloaded IOS6 onto my iPhone (I think it's a 4 or 4S) and shortly thereafter noticed that all my contacts are GONE. This seems to be a common issue as I'm seeing it repeatedly in the threads. The downside is, I don't remember ever doing a backup (it's possible I did, and just don't remember, but it's also just as possible [and more likely] that I haven't). So, I'm now backing up my iPhone onto iTunes and am contemplating a RESTORE. Might this help? Or is it a useless endeavor which may cause more problems?
    By the way, I went to iCloud.com and looked at which contacts are there and they're not there either, so not an option to try to pull them back over.
    This kinda *****!

    The deal with syncing contacts is that you either do so through iTunes, with a supported application on your computer, or over-the-air with something like iCloud. You don't do both at the same time. Doing so will create duplicates & a mess. As to whether one is better than the other, that's up to you. Over-the-air keeps everything in sync across all your devices, automatically, but relies on the stability of the iCloud servers. With your computer, requires that you regularly sync, to keep stuff updated, and that you maintain a current backup.

  • Best settings for film based PAL to MPEG2?

    There's a fair amount of useful information online regarding the best settings for film based NTSC footage export etc but I'm unable to find anything regarding the best Compressor settings for the export of MPEG2 from PAL video from a 25 frames per second film sourced master.
    Can anybody help?

    Okay, so after reading heaps of stuff on interlacing and progressive, my head is hurting. Since my 1080i50 Pal footage captures into Final cut interlaced and setting field dominance to NONE doesn't do much, I realise I need to de-interlace in an another application. Ken Stone has a great example of what to do in compressor though I dont have the current version (3) and am not sure how to reinterpret this for Compressor 2. I had a go without much luck. I am in the process of trying to use MPEG Streamclip to deinterlace and trying getting the right settings. Will see how that goes. I also have tried using JES deinterlacer but also wasnt sure about settings etc with this application either.
    Which is the best to use and what settings should I set. I wish to use my footage for watching on our macs primarily and also from our mac server which is hooked up to our hdtv. I can then convert to other formats for iphones and web etc. But my main problem is this interlacing issue. I have a nice new HDV camera but it certainly isnt looking too much better atm than my old dv footage.
    PLEASE help!

  • I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding."  I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

    Unlikely.  Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
    Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

  • Safari Ver 5.1.10 Fix For The "Old Style" Google Problem...

    @ The mods/ Admins
    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I cannot seem to find the thread where people were discussing the recent problem Google introduced by forcing some versions of Safari to revert back to their old style Google layout and format...
    I was told by a moderator (Zack T.) that I could post my "Fix/ Solution" to this problem here on the site but I can't find the original thread for this. So I am posting the "Fix" here as I'm still getting inundated with emails from people here and from Googles "help" forums asking me for this solution...
    Could you please if possible leave this thread available for those people running Safari Ver 5.1.10 so that they can try for themselves this "Fix" without having to contact me personally over it, or can you (if needed) move this post to the appropriate thread...
    Thank you...
    The following is a "Fix/ Solution" that I have created that solves the problem for users of Safari Ver 5.1.10  that Google introduced recently where they now block older version of Safari from using the "Modern Style" layout and features of Google which they had been used to...
    You can still use the "Modern Style" Google with Safari 5.1.10 via the "Develop/ User Agent/ Other" menu to switch to a "User Agent" that allows you to use the "Modern Google" however, there is no way to make this as the permanent "Default User Agent" in Safari 5.1.10 and it has to be done for each new tab you open and every time you startup Safari... which is not exactly good or helpful...
    That's where this "Fix" solves that for you. This fix will make sure Safari 5.1.10 starts up and uses a custom "User Agent" that allows you to continue to use the "Modern Style" Google and not have to constantly change the "User Agent" via the "Develop" menu...
    It also has the benefit over other methods that are about of using FireFox "User Agents" in that this fix creates a Mac specific "User agent" that means you get the correct pages from whatever it is you are accessing on the internet (The FireFox one causes some changes to graphics and page layout when used on a Mac)...
    As long as you are certain you are using Safari Version 5.1.10 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and they are all fully updated as far as they can be then this fix should work for you (it already has for several thousand other Safari 5.1. 10 users whom have tried it)...
    INSTRUCTIONS.... Safari Version 5.1.10 Fix To Restore The "Modern Style" Google...
    IMPORTANT !!! --- MAKE SURE SAFARI ISN"T RUNNING ---
    Download the following DMG which contains the "Fix" for Safari Ver 5.1.10...
    http://www.mediafire.com/download/7wsl4n5siu7cphw/Safari_Ver_5.1.10_Google_Fix.d mg
    When you open the DMG file you will see a window that looks like this...
    IMPORTANT --- MAKE SURE SAFARI ISN"T RUNNING ---
    STEP 1: Double click on the folder called "A" to open it...
    STEP 2: From the new window that opens from folder "A"  find the file called "Safari" and drag
    it to your Desktop screen to make a copy of it (this is both for safekeeping and in case the "fix"
    doesn't work for you so that you can still restore the original file)...
    STEP 3: Drag the file from the downloaded DMG window called "Safari" onto the folder in the
    same window called "A"...
    Now start Safari as you would normally and if the fix has worked you should once again be seeing the
    "Modern" look Google once again. You should copy/ move the original "Safari" file you copied to your
    Desktop screen to a safe place for storage (Downloads or Documents for example) in case you ever
    need or want to restore the original file to Safari at some pint in the future...
    IMPORTANT:- If you're still seeing the old version of Google in Safari after trying this fix then
    unfortunately it hasn't worked for you and you MUST replace/ put back the
    original "Safari" file you copied to your Desktop screen...
    This is simple to do and is achieved by simply dragging the original "Safari"
    file you copied to your Desktop screen onto the "A" folder in the "Safari Fix"
    window...
    Happy Googling - MadFranko008 (2014)

    I followed instructions from Carolyn Smith in another thread (see below) - but Safari did not start anyway. After that I discovered that Safari started when starting from /Program/-folder but not from Docks on the desktop.
    So - throw away the old icon on the desktop and make a new one.

  • What is the best hp laserjet printer monochrome for transparent film ?

    Hello.
    I want to know what is the best laserjet printer monochrome for transparent film ?
    Can you recommend a printer ? I want to print negative or positive films at high opacity
    I wait your recommendation.
    Thank you

    high price:HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color MFP M575dn  This is the top of the line for consumer laser printing.  It's technically an enterprise (fancy word for commercial) printer, and there for has a commercial warranty attached to it, which is a very good thing.  This also has dual trays with automatic tray switching depending on the media type.  That means you can keep the transparencies in one tray, and plain paper for everyday printing in the other without having to switch between the two manually.  This printer also supports 1200 x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) which will give the transparencies a clear crisp look.
    average price:HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dn  This is about the middle of the road laser printer.  It's still technically an enterprise printer, so you get the enterprise level warranty, and you still get the dual trays with auto-switching.  The main differences are in the price, and in the quality of prints.  This printer is much cheaper, but the maximum dpi is 600 x 600 so the images that print are not quite as good as with the M575dn.
    low price: HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw  This is not the bottom of the line by any means, but it's not as fast at printing as the two above.  You still get 600 x 600 dpi, but you loose the extra tray.  You also loose the enterprise level warranty, but you do still get a 1 year consumer level warranty.  It's not as flashy as the two above, but it will do the job.

  • HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    Is/was failing or has failed?
    If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.
