More Scanning!

I had recently started to scan some old photos when I realized that some of them were missing from the folders they were stored in. (The original packaging they came in when I got them developed) So, since I still had the negatives, (also in the original packaging they came in when I got them developed - bad idea I know but it sure came in handy for this project!) I decided to scan them instead. What a surprise! The scanned negatives have much better color than the photos. I'm not sure if they were originally printed that way or if they have faded over the years.
Here is a sample:

The photo above was scanned from the negative.

This photo was scanned from the print. Notice that they even chopped off the sky!!

It really did make a difference. I was about to ask who that was when I saw your tag. I love that blonde hair!
