How do you do that?<br />

Restoring those old photographs<br />

And adding some color!<br />

(ps: and some fun)<br />

In one of our past <strong>issue</strong>s we showed how to color old pictures, now we<br />

will show you how to restore all those old pictures of your<br />

grandparents, mom and dad, cousins, uncles and so forth. Many of<br />

these have faded, cracked, or turned orange. If you have a computer<br />

and have been playing with graphic software then you are ready to<br />

give it a try.<br />

Sample 1<br />

This photograph, the owner (the little<br />

girl), has been in a box around 54 yrs and<br />

like many of these old pictures they turn<br />

orange.<br />

First thing is to make a file on your<br />

computer and scan it to your file, let’s<br />

call it OldPhotos (make it unique it will<br />

be easy to search for). Scan the picture<br />

and save it to the file you made, load up<br />

your graphic program then load your<br />

picture. Select color mode then select<br />

grey scale 16 bit and now you have a<br />

good picture to print; personally I prefer<br />

glossy pictures when restoring old<br />
