The devil is in the details, even in life drawing

Here’s a vintage pic, but can’t remember who the actress is. This was another image that the scan settings really changed the final of.

First is the original scan, that I doctored up to try and bring out the shading in the dress; but it’s still washed out way more than I can deal with. 

Now the rescan, new settings, and practically untouched. The fabric has so much more volume to it, and her skin isn’t washed out. Perfect, nope, but way easier to make changes on something when it’s all there, as opposed to trying to add things back in that don’t exist.
