Thread Name: BS: Tech: Rescuing old photographs
Subject: RE: BS: Tech: Rescuing old photographs
I'm scanning and saving in PSD at 600 dpi. I've done higher -- a couple of years ago I saved at 1,200 dpi, but it took forever to save and the resulting files were of the size you can only imagine. I also don't suggest emailing files of this size.
Right now I'm playing with some of the scans, tweaking and fooling with the software. Probably by tomorrow evening I'll start getting serious. Already I've recovered two photos, though, simply by moving the photos from yellowed to grayscale.
It's not that I don't WANT to start serious work, but I have to recapture some of the skills with PSE and PS6 I had. Haven't really used the programs for over a year.
