Scanning Samples (1)

The level of improvement possible with any picture depends upon many variables. Here we present a number of examples of what can and can't be done, in four pages, looking at a wide spectrum of possible results. Please also bear in mind that with the Enhanced Service we can only reproduce how we believe the picture might have looked originally, as we cannot know what the actual shades of colour were when the picture was taken. All of the images you see have been optimised for fast web download, and are therefore of the quality you would expect from our Web Album option. This first page contains copies of the images displayed on our Home Page.

Glass slides trap dust inside, and glass becomes stained with age Without stripping down and thorough cleaning, striations still evident in sky After enhancing, striations still slightly visible - full removal only possible with either initial strip / clean or long touch up in Photoshop If you have badly stained / marked glass slides and want them properly cleaned before scanning, please contact us. We can undertake this work charged on an hourly basis.
