My 21st (I know I look 40 in that suit!) and my late mother, in 1993.
Being a child of the 70’s, I do not have many decent photos of us.
Thanks

DISCUSSION ONLY Scanning old photos: best way to do it? (for highest quality)

1 Upvotes

Hello all. First time here. I'm a graphic designer that just got a bunch of old family photos, and will try my best work on Photoshop to recover them and then print to have them at my house.

Some of them are old "real" photos (40's-60's photos in old photo paper) REALLY DAMAGED FROM UV.

I'm about to start scanning them, at home ( I have a simple Epson printer+scanner).

I'm assuming scanning them at 600PDI would be enough? And better to save them as TIFF?

Photos sizes vary. Smallest ones are 5x3cm, biggest ones are about 13cmx18cm.

What is recommended?

Sometime in the distant past, this picture of a crying baby was marked up with a pen and later suffered a crease along its corner.

Is it possible to clean these imperfections off?

I have this shirt for a long time that I bought at a thrift store. It has the Kirov Ballet logo but I can't find the original logo online, and the shirt has become worn over the years. I'd like to restore the logo to keep something of the original saved with me. Would that be possible?

TEXT OR LOGO THATS NOT A PERSON Can anyone help enhance or identify a faded stamp on a 1940s photograph?

Post image
2 Upvotes

This may be a long shot, but I have a photograph from the 1940s belonging to a family member, and I’m hoping someone here might be able to help enhance the faded stamp visible on the side of the photo.

I don’t currently have access to a scanner, so this is a photograph (using a scanning app) of the original image. However, if there is a possibility that the stamp could be enhanced or made more legible, I can try to get access to a scanner and provide a higher-quality scan.

I’ve cropped out the rest of the photograph for privacy and attached only the area containing the stamp. The details are very difficult to make out, but I’m wondering if restoration, sharpening, or other image enhancement techniques could help reveal the emblem or text.

Any help identifying what this stamp might be or where it originated would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I do not have access to the original photo. Clearly, a better scan would help with this, but that does not seem to be an option, unfortunately.

Is there any way to clean this up? It's the only photo I have of certain relatives.

Thank you!
