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.
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.
Again, there are some really good examples this month, where a little boost made a great difference.
Can't get enough?

Thanks Tattered and Lost. Those little tykes in their costumes are a hoot aren't they? Thanks for the link. We tend to forget what an effort it was getting a portrait taken in those days. And thanks for reminding me to add this link about railroad photo-cars: http://blog.familytreemagazine.com/photodetectiveblog/2007/06/19/TravelingPhotographers.aspx
