Photo restoration
I found some pictures a few months back of my grandpa?s from before the war. They were from his days at a CCC camp in Watonga OK. There is one in a year book type of thing where when I scan it the picture comes up with the dotted appearance. Also I found a rolled up group picture of the whole group but it has a tear right through my grandpa?s chin area. I am most concerned about the ?dotted? picture. There is also a picture of his brother in another group photo in the book. Any ideas on how I could fix this or programs I could use to get them fixed? Below are two of the pictures I?m concerned about. Mind you these were pre-1940. http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/575.png http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/576.png |
A little side note some of you might funny. When I asked him about the later picture I told him he looked like he had an attitude, well he was the asst leader he told me and it also says so. I told him it looked like he had a chip on his shoulder. He laughed hard and told me that no one sure as hell tried to knock it off neither.

Mel,
The picture with the tear can be fixed with Adobe Photoshop. May not be perfect, but 90% of the defect can be made to go away. The "grainy" picture...let me ask you...does it appear grainy when you look at it closely in the yearbook? Try scanning it with a different resolution setting, and then enlarging it or reducing it. Hope this helps. :) |

Take your pictures to any photo shop (one hour photo) they can fix your tear and colorize it if you like. The dot picture is because thats how they made black and whites (with dots) your expanding it to much and the dots are vissable. Take a digital picture of the picture and then expand the part you want.
