Enhancement - Looking for Lost Details

For some, an old photograph loses its charm when "restored" to modern day clarity with all the age spots removed. Some photographs however, benefit greatly from just a nudge of enhancement. An improved contrast or the reversal of the yellowing brings out details that otherwise would have been missed and lost forever.

Beyond that, there are no tears patched, spots removed or missing areas replaced. No restorations.

To please both camps of those of us who rescue old photographs, here are both the originals and the enhanced of just a few of the latest additions to Lost Gallery.

Enhancement is a subject visited often in LOST GALLERY. Here are some previous pages on the subject.

THE KIDS
It is always a mystery to us how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.
