I'm finally getting back to working on my trip report about my journey to Washington, DC, and New York City last April: Gordy and Madelane's Great Pilgrimage Observations and Digressions. I've rescanned a number of images and they are up. I'm well along on getting the next entry up. Maybe even by the end of this weekend! (Don't hold me to that.)

I had been scanning my negatives with the software that my scanner (Epson 2450) came with. It was a light version of an excellent piece of scanning software. Somehow the software became corrupted and I ended looking at a demo version of the full version. The results astounded me and, with the help of some of my readers, I purchased the full version: SilverFast AI 6. It was the ability of the full version to get improved shadow and highlight detail that sold me.

It was like having a new scanner. Thanks again to those that helped out. Now to get the rest of the pictures and text up.
