#3 should be scanned in 16 bits per channel mode to give a little more info for when the levels are stretched out.

Here is an old photo of my Grandpa, taken in 1926, I believe.

Here is the restoration I did in one hour.


I had a better version, but the disk I was using got corrupted in between school and home the day before it was due. I went to print it out before I went to bed and found that out and had to re-do two weeks of work in a short time so I could get it printed and mounted.

The colors are a bit bright on this one and were much more balanced and diverse on the original, but you get the idea of where it is going.

Note the repair of the torn corner, the stain at the top, the obvious addition of color and the darkening of areas that had become "ghosted"

if you do restores as a job you dont always have the luxury, worked at a shop that did photo editing using photoshop on macs one summer, people thought their scanners were better or didnt want to send the original so they would scan the pics themselves.... makes it pretty hard when they use a $20 scanner on the worst settings
