Progress is going great at Tropical Americas and the detail is amazing. Off topic but if you squint your eyes this pic it kinda looks like the Eiffel Tower hahaha

Yes. If the slides are good, those work pretty good. The issue is most of them that are made today have a shorter dynamic range which means you'll be leaving some detail off the table. If the slide is already overexposed, one of those Kodak branded ones on amazon for example is just going to further crush any detail left in the highlights. They also tend to auto apply a lot of sharpening to make up for their low resolution sensors and poor encoders. My Epson V600 flatbed scanner with the SilverFast included and HDR mode does okay but this dslr method I've avoided doing for so long because it feels sacrosanct is really working! If you know where to find an old slide scanner, the ones from 20-30 years ago, they're even better than what I'm doing. Your library or local university likely has an Epson V600 or even better.

How about a fresh UHD scan for you as we continue digitizing our slides collected over the past decade? 😁 Walt Disney's exhibits at the New York World's Fair, photo captured April 1964!

You can try to recover using a few tricks. Any DSLR + macro lens + a light table, capture the largest raw you can and then adjust the raw sliders till you fill the whole histogram. Reducing highlights will recover what detail is left in blown out areas and strengthening darks and contrast will fix the contrast problem. You can most easily test what can be recovered with no investment by using what you have handy such as putting the slide on a bright device screen displaying all white and taking a photo with whatever device is around that has the closest physical focus capability (i.e. iphone raw photo using wide lens, slide sitting on a white screen on ipad etc)

@9dbfg This is Kodachrome which is typically extremely resilient. Avoiding smoke, humidity, and uv light are also important factors. There was some other stock that was popular in the 70's that gets super duper red/magenta which we've had difficulties working around.

@SixMilesTall Wonder if McCall was using the sky to signify progress over time in knowledge/understanding/science, where out of the darkness on the left you first see the light of knowledge touching the pyramids!

Imagine a day in a life at Walt Disney World in December in 2009. You could enter EPCOT, passing fountain of nations, listening to the innoventions music loop before you got to test track 1.0, Universe of Energy and Maelstrom. Hop over to DAK to catch the Jammin Jungle parade and Tough to be a Bug, then ride Dinosaur and Primeval Whirl. Once its dark, head over to Hollywood Studios for a ride on Great Movie Ride and watch the Osborne Light Display. End the night at Magic Kingdom on a Splash Mountain ride, admiring Rivers of America as you take your farewell Cinderella Castle photo with the Dreamlights and Spectromagic. All included with admission.

@FiBelleFi What if they made that rock bigger and carved Na'vi and Restroom directionals into it? that would be cool

To mark the opening of The Magic of Disney Animation, we took inspiration from the legendary multiplane camera technique pioneered by Disney nearly 90 years ago. Can you spot all your favorite Characters?✨ 🎥
