The image doesn't work for me (it says "too many pixels") - here's a link...

...and here's a preview:
OP's image

OP, why are you posting a fresco in the photography community?

edit: the preview doesn't seem to work. It did when I previewed the comment... IDK

    Good photo!

    It's hard to say at that resolution and compression, but it seems overcooked to me. The red sweater certainly is too red, the rest of the photo (especially the sky, wall and ground) seems to lack detail and be oversaturated.

    There's like a vertical line towards the left (look above the woman's right hand) - was this scanned (from film or print)?

    *(the rest has nothing to do with photography: apologies for that) *

    About the message, I must say that the only way nato=nazi can hold any sense is if you intend "nazi" as a generic slur... like saying nato=shit, where you don't intend literal excrement but use the word "shit" to convey meaning similar to "disgusting" or "despicable" (that is, if you have any idea who nazi were and what nato is, which I'm sure you actually do).

    The problem with that is that using a word like a generic slur devoids it of its meaning, which is not what we want to do to the name of one of the worst human-made abominations in recent history, whose memory we want need to preserve as a reminder of what we did, and a warning of what we might again do.

    Also, with all the authoritarian regimes that are in power and the actual genocides that are in progress right now, it seems questionable to associate nazism with, of all things, nato (yeah, they are both four letters and start in "na", which is... an extremely shallow reason).

    I understand the sentiment, but... that will probably get you classified as a terrorist (whatever that means in the US at this point) without actually hampering ICE in any way.

    Roughly, it must be a couple hundreds prints and, say, 400 slides?

    I don't know how many I actually want to digitize, though: I didn't do any serious culling yet and -critically- how many I want to digitize will depend on how much work/money is gonna take per print/slide.

    I found some old photo albums and slides (mostly dating back to '80) and I'm considering digitalizing some of them.

    How would you proceed in my shoes?

    I have a decent mirrorless camera (plus minimal editing skills) and an office scanner, but I'm open to buy extra equipment. I'm also open to sending the lot to some third party studio that specializes in the task, but if possible (and if it's not much more costly) I would prefer to DYI and process the photos/slides as I review them.

     

    At some point while I was fiddling, Darktable asked me whether I wanted to get rid of the script manager (hide it? disable it? I don't recall) and I clicked "yes" by mistake: now there is no script manager in my left bar.

    Do you know the "proper" way to get it back? (ie. one that is not "delete all darktable settings from your home directory") I searched the preferences but didn't find anything.
