Thanks for the generous comments. When I get a spare moment I may try that software and see what it does. I've got a few slides that I've converted that suffered from the grainy effects that may have been due to my unproffesional developing! (used to do my own slide developing and photo printing when I was younger)
Hi Neil, An awesome photograph, it GLOWS! Nice contrasts in colors, good composition. Love the hazy hills in the background!!
It's noisy which is a bit disturbing. Have you ever tried 'Neat Image'?? It's fantastic, will take all this noise/grain out completely! You can download it free at 'Neatimage.com'..........only takes a few minutes. I had some noisy images a while back and someone told me about it, it WORKS!! Give it a try!
