I think it's a well done scan, Paul. Her skin tone is very light, but you allowed some nice shadow detail in her face. Very nice scan overall. Jack

I used a Pentax AF 400T flash firing into a camera-jointed umbrella,The film was Portra 400 exposed at f8 at 1/250th. I was never able to get a good scan of it. Don't know why. Perhaps conflict between the woman's skin tones and the background. Revisited it today, and I was able to get a pretty good rendering with the Epson V500. I scanned it at 6400 dpi, using the Epson Scan software, which I have found to be much better than Vuescan. I I did some additional color correction and some dodging and burning in PhotoShop. Pretty happy with it now.
