the one on the left was scanned by a shop. personally i don't like it at all, which is why i looked into other scanning options. the one on the right is one i did myself on a cheap slide scanner i borrowed off my dad, cost 50 quid.
the one on the right looks way closer to how the actual slide looks when held up to the light. i reckon the shop scanned them, then colour corrected them before running them through the sharpen filter 1000 times.
it was taken on an xa2, and the one i did myself is more what i was expecting to see from the camera, and i much prefer it to the shop scan
neither are photoshopped (to my knowledge) btw, just straight from the scanners
