Enhancing the scanned result of your photograph, image, 35mm slide, or 35mm
negative is where we correct detectable problems with the original. It may
be a scratch across the slide or negative, a series of spots that have appeared
(usually from dust), or may be that you want to change the color for a faded
photograph.
We suggest that you call, write or Email us if you are considering
extensive photo enhancements. That way we both understand
exactly what is to be done.
Key Considerations
- What do you want done to the photo?
- Do you want a color photo changed to black and white?
- Do you want a color or black and white photo changed to Sepia
which provides a dated or old-fashioned look?
- Do you want the photo cropped to concentrate on a specific area?
- Do you want to sharpen or blur the images?
- Do you want the unwanted red-eye effect reduced?
Capabilities
We have several Photo Enhancement software
programs that provide us with the ability to manipulate the digital images we
use for our products. Each one has varied capabilities but they
normally fall into the following categories.
- Cropping
- This is where a portion of the photograph or image is
retained and everything outside the selected area is
ignored. This could also be putting a studio like
"fuzziness" around the image.
- Color Balance
- This is the ability to adjust the hue, saturation,
lightness and contrast of the image. An example is
adjusting the image to bring out a face that is in a shadow
of a hat.
- Blur or Sharpen
- This is where the image has either a reduced amount of
detail or an increased amount of detail. There is only a certain
amount of sharpening that can be performed while still making the photo
acceptable for viewing.
- Despeckle
- This is the removal of dust spots or a scratch by having
the computer adjust the image so that the area is the same
as what surrounds it.
- Sepia or Black-and-White
-
This is the ability to remove the color and
replace it with Sepia (shades of tan) or a Black-and-White image.
