Enhancement - Looking for Lost Details - July 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 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.

There are some really good examples this month, where a little boost made a great difference.

THE KIDS Lesson one. It is always a mystery 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.

    Thanks Tattered and Lost. That one seems a bit rare. I think it is from one of those itinerant photographers who wander table to table in a night club, taking pictures of parties and groups. I have only about three like that.

    I am not sure if they are in a strip club or if those posters are just decorations.

      Thanks Chloe. A little enhancement sometimes reveals some remarkable details in a faded photograph.
