Lost Gallery: Enhancement - Looking for Lost Details

Monday, November 4, 2013

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 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. As always, nothing has been "repaired" but just enhanced a bit.

This one enlarged slightly in proportion to the backing.

It's especially nice to see those images that are so faded to be almost ghost like brought back to life. And now I know the last fellow is holding a hat because I first thought, "Why is this guy posing with a plate?"

Thanks Tattered and Lost. Yes, when ever I find one of these faded photographs I am always anxious to get home and process them to find the hidden details. There's often a few surprises.
