The drum scanned version shows greater shadow detail and tonal range. Note the detail in the bright areas of the sky; and details of the Citicorp building, Pan Am sign, and Chrysler Building lights. Colors are close to the original. This frame was originally scanned in CMYK and then converted to RGB color. A 1 degree rotation was applied to correct a slight angle in scanning. |
