This is a photograph that I already showed exactly as below here. I  
shot it on Fuji NPS160, with professional development, but had it  
scanned commerially on low res: all flattened out.

This is the same shot after I let Alien Skin (and some minor  
additional PS alterations) have a go at the original scan today:

as big as above:

!!! the big ones are in Adobe RGB !!!

Isn't the 2nd one much more distinctive and doesn't it have a lot  
more character? Or am I just overenthousiastic?
