Enhancement - Looking For Lost Details - September 2014 - 5


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, little or nothing has been "repaired" but just enhanced a bit.

Let's All Go To The Movies - Puritan Picture


Occasionally the search for old photographs finds your LOST GALLERY curator in the darkest corner of a junk shop, elbow deep in a hat-box of ephemera. It's rare, but occasionally we see a familiar face ...

Well, the first guy on the left looks familiar, a bit like Charles Bronson. And I think I've seen the first guy on the right but, I don't know the name. I don't know the name of this opus either.

Gee, there sure are a lot of movies I haven't seen.


Now, if the central gentleman (fourth face from the left) is Hardie Hunter Albright, then this still is from the 1936 version of "The Scarlet Letter" with Coleen Moore and Alan Hale.

But that's only a guess. IMBD has a photograph of him also.

Do you have any ideas?

Oh,

Oh, don't get your knickers in a knot. I'll clean the garage tomorrow. I'm gonna go play pool with the boys.
