Hey. Years ago, a former member here did a great Color restoration of the following photo, their restoration is the second version I was wondering, if I was to provide a full size scan of the photo, would someone be able to restore the full size version to look the same as the original color restoration? And could someone a full size scan of the third pic below in a similar way? https://ibb.co/Hq7smJR

Thanks, hat angle (meaning below the subject, face on, etc) and what sort of lighting you feel was used?

The following photo was taken circa 1970-1972 abs was part of an ID photo, however it is to me close enough to an HD photo of the subject (deceased relative) despite the horrible background color However, the professional scan below I feel was way too oversatured and too high in contrast https://ibb.co/2gt0JRS I was hoping someone might correct the colors for me The second, marked id -3 pic is an attempt by myself to correct it The third/fourth pic are color reference pics of subject in 1972 in natural - ambient lightning.

Hey, I was wondering if someone could fix the focus on this photo? No negatives available Also, can anyone determine at what angle (meaning below the subject, face on, etc) and what sort of lighting used? Pic was taken in 1975

Does it appear balanced nicely, not un-straight or titled in any way? Also, would you recommend any tweaks with regard to colors and such?

What is the first photo you're sure you took? Post here if you have it easily accessible. I may have taken pictures before this, but these are the earliest I know for sure. These pictures were taken by me in the summer of 1995 and I was about 4 1/2 years old: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet http://i.imgur.com/a6U5spV.jpg They were taken with a Sigma Point & Shoot camera.

Francis, it looks like the moderators removed the photo per rules. The workaround that is acceptable is to put the link to the photo in your posting. That way all we have to do is click the link to see the photo and PN does not have to deal with an angry photographer that has his photo being displayed on this site without permission. For those arriving late, the photo was a black and white image of an older gentleman raising a one or two year old high above him. It was a good shot and perhaps Francis will post a link to the photo so others can participate in the discussion. Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

Did anyone here use professional grade equipment in the 1960s through 1970s? I have a few private questions I would like to ask if so.

I only asked out of curiosity. The photo was the only photograph of my grandfather with any of his grandchildren (he died two years later) and I guess having an inkling as to how it went down would in a way be like being there.

As best as you can tell, does it appear as if this photo was staged? Is there any way it could've been taken candidly? I ask because the story goes an amateur photographer happened to snap this photo for his photo class and asked my mother if she wanted to buy it, and she said sure. But it feels somehow too professional appearing to be have been shot in the moment. I don't know anything about the photographer or what equipment was used - this happened in 1973 - memories are fuzzy. Anyone want to lend their opinion both on whether it was staged or not, and what techniques might have been used to create it? The photo is 11 x 14. Photo removed. Per the photo.net Terms of Use, do not post photos you did not take.

<p>I currently have my most precious photos scanned as 600 to 2400 DPI High Res TIFF files.<br /><br />The question is, is TIFF a good file type for long term archiving? Is it subject to data loss over time?</p>

<p>Hi,<br /><br />I scanned back in 2009 two Polaroids of my grandfather. They were the standard small Polaroid size. I scanned them at 600 DPI, JPEG. Stupidly (being 19) I cropped off the white edges of the Polaroid, which reduced the resolution of each to 1640 x 1744. They are good enough scans that I can zoom into them around 50% in Windows Photo Viewer before they get too pixelly. The photos are shots of my grandfather standing at a distance from the camera. I can't zoom into see the fine features of his face, but they give me an overall portrait of the original picture.<br> The question is, what, if any steps can I take to future proof these scans to ensure I can:<br> 1) Make decent sized reprints with a similar level of data in say 20-30 years;<br> 2) Ensure my copy continues to exist for generations to come?<br /><br /><br> Due to family conflicts, I no longer - and given the nature of the family conflict - will never - have access to the original prints again to do a better re-scan. What can I do with what I have to make sure my great grandkids can enjoy these two photos?</p>

<p>Yes - the original print is actually even worse than the first scan in terms of the overexposure. The first scan was an attempt to increase the highlights. Also, I'm not sure if the tilting was because of the scan or because the Polaroid was a little bent/curled when scanned. It appears the right side is bigger than the left. Do you think I should get it re-scanned, or is the tilt subtle enough so as not to be jarring?</p>

<p>Here was another scan done by myself years ago. This was without any touchups done.<br> <img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/a64d741000.jpg" alt="" width="1299" height="1080" /></p>
