Restoring old photographs
Does anyone have any tips on how I can restore a box full of old photographs digitally? What are the best hardware and software tools for the job, to remove scratches, dust, adjust exposure, and so forth? Any experiences you've had? Better to invest up front in a fancy scanner?

Re: Restoring old photographs
Restoring old photos depends on the photo. Yellowing etc... I would say that PhotoShop, PhotoImpact, or PhotoShop Elements should do you just fine. It can be time consuming work depending on the editing needed.

It's gonna take lots and lots of your time, though... I use GraphicConverter (http://www.lemkesoft.com/en/index.htm), PhotoLine32 (http://www.pl32.com/) – both handle RAW and are free to download shareware – and PS8. |

Welcome aboard .
Is there any chance you could post 1 or 2 of the pics .? Maybe some of us could have a go and explain what we did to them. |

Re: Restoring old photographs
I see three high-quality options I'd consider for turning the photos into digital files:
Canon 9950F flatbed scanner Epson Perfection 4990 flatbed scanner Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II for slides Not sure which of these is best. Does anyone have any of these? |
