N°2 Photo for restoration
« on: Tuesday 11 March 08 12:30 GMT (UK) »
Hello members,

I have just found this old photo. Could anyone restore this for me in its original black & white (not in color !)
Thank you,
Claire

Claire,

Although your pictures are scanned at 300ppi , they still seem pixelated . Did you shrink them down to fast ?

You can have up to 500k files !

I know it's a pain , but it might give you better results.

No I haven't shrink them. They are in poor condition. That's fine for me. I don't expect wonders !!!

:-\  If you scaned at 300dpi with best quality / no compression your file would be over 400kb and not showing the pixelation we see in our software - evem if it was the worst photo going!

Just a thought, did you scan an original photo or one sent to you by email?

what scanner do you have?
Please acknowledge when a restorer works on your photos, it can take hours for them to work their magic

Please scan at 300dpi minimum to help save the restorers eyesight.
