Well I can see that the problem is caused by the operator whom scanned
your slides. Upon scanning each individual slide, he must ensure that
the image (color , brightness, contrast)is adjusted as close as the
original. Or it could be that the scanner / monitor is not properly
calibrated.
Sebestian,
How about your monitor, is it calibrated?
Maybe you can contact Kodak for advise to your poorly scanned images.

Hello everone,
I just got a back of 50 slides scanned by Kodak PhotoCD.
The results are quite bad. It seems the scanner can't
reproduce the contrast range of the slides. So it arbitrarily
destroys dark and light areas of the pictures.
The slide are shots of ceramic objects over a black velvet background,
under overcast sky lighting. Of course, I don't mind loosing details
in the dark areas, but not in the light areas.
Is this a know problem? And how do I fix it, without requiring
a skilled (and expensive) technician to do everything by hand?
Did anybody use a "calibration" shot on a roll to set the scanner
once for a whole roll? And what can be used as a proper calibration
tool?
I'm starting to believe that automated scanning is almost as bad as
automated printing. I hope I'm wrong...
Digitally challenged,
Sebastien
