Another Kodachrome digital conversion from 1988. This one is interesting with the strong backlighting and no fill flash, the original had heavy shadows that even projecting didn't minimize. Copied to RAW, it retained details in the film that I didn't visually see, and masking the subject in Lightroom able to bring the detail out that area. Would have been a lot of dodging and burning in a darkroom without a clue that the detail even existed.

Fantastic, what an interesting process, I just did a quick Google and saw it converts slides. Usually with pros though one "can" do it at home.
