Found a few photos of my first two cars up in my parents loft. Scanned them in but they haven't gone through properly at all. For example:







Yeah I know the car looks st by the way. It was in my somewhat more naive motoring days when I thought adding things to a car to make it faster was a better idea than just buying a faster car.

Also have two pictures of my very first car, the only proof I ave of its existence. However the film was double exposed; could they be rescued in Photoshop?






Thanks!

Park Camera's have the Epson V500 on special offer at the moment for about £130
V500 at Park Cameras

I have recently got one and it gives good results with it's own colour recovery software.
See my fourth post down showing two scans of the same faded slide, with and without adjustment in this thread on Talkphotography Epson V500 discussion

your slide is a bit far gone but it would recover some of it and then spend some time in Photoshop to save it some more.

Lot of work for an old Nova though laugh

Slightyl OT but there's nothing shameful in having had an AX early in your motoring career. They might have been built with the world's thinnest steel and no soundproofing but they were terriffic fun down a country road and had that real French Joie de Vive that seems to have been lost in mainstream models now.
