A very old, repaired scan of a photo from 75 years ago. This black and white image is of two boys with lambs that would precede me... the little one (left) would be my uncle after his big brother becomes my dad.

Another old restored/saved photo from 75+ years ago. Scanned from a wallet sized original in worn condition, but turned out satisfactory despite not getting as much face detail as I'd like. #whatIdo #picscans #photorestoration #oldphotos #treasured #memories #thepast #ancestors #family #b&w

This scanned image is the result of time spent editing and adjusting detail to save it in a digital format. The boys are her sons, and she is who would become my grandmother one day.

An image of a wallet sized photo I scanned... damaged and worn with time. An only copy I needed to restore and save.

Here's a before and after of an old photo I scanned and edited. This is my grandmother, the boy standing is my dad... she's holding his brother, Gene. I'm happy to have restored and saved the pic. #whatIdo #picscans #photorestoration #oldphotos #treasured #memories #thepast #ancestors #family #b&w

A black and white photo that's at least 75 years old of four ladies with my grandmother being the third from the left. This image has been scanned and restored to look as it does here. Save those old prints.

Image of me holding the small copy of the photo that I would scan, enhance, and edit to be a much larger and better image. Prints this small make it difficult to enhance, save and bring out detail. Some turn out better than others.

This is a task, but I like restoring, saving old images by scanning (at 600 ppi) and fixing using Topaz Photo AI and a good amount of time with Elements. Some prints are tiny, with poor detail. #whatIdo #picscans #photorestoration #oldphotos #treasured #memories #thepast #ancestors #family #b&w
