We scan 8 x 10 glossy photos using an Epson
Perfection 4870 Photo scanner at 1200 dpi resolution. The scan
settings for brightness and contrast are also matched as closely as possible to the
original photo. Then we remove the hundreds of background scratches, "pops"
and
"clicks," and other imperfections that reside in the original photo. Under
magnification, we use Adobe Photoshop's Spot Healing Brush tool to remove these blemishes
and blend their pixels with the surrounding areas. See the before
and after pictures of a small section of a
Rudolph Valentino photo below.
This process is very time consuming (1 to 6 hours per photo), but the results are definitely
worth it! |
