You are exactly right: ...Thanks Tattered and Lost. You are exactly right: seeing the images as the original owner would have seen them. Sometimes hidden details emerge revealing the real reason for the photograph. <br /><br />I think maybe a sudden breeze might have billowed the child’s play smock. But the enhancement didn’t reveal what I really wanted to know: What is in the child’s left hand?<br /><br />“The Claw!” You’re right! I can just see the lobby cards now.<br /><br />Thanks Mike Burnett. I feel the same way. I would rather see the original, faded, yellowed, wrinkled and torn. It gives me the feel of its journey to our time. But I can’t resist looking for the details that have been lost along the way. I seldom “repair” the photograph, ironing out the wrinkles and scratches; I just remove the yellowing and sometimes bump the contrast a bit. Nothing else. I’m just looking for details I might have missed otherwise. None of the photographs on this page benefitted from that as much as some on this page: http://lostgallery.blogspot.com/2011/03/enhancement-looking-for-details.html<br /><br />Yes, standing too far from or too close to the subject was/is a common flaw of the amateur photographer. <br />anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147904112441997460.post-86846676294025989192013-02-27T06:09:09.042-06:002013-02-27T06:09:09.042-06:00Very interesting, I'm still a bit undecided as...Very interesting, I'm still a bit undecided as to what is best. I agree that clarity is improved but sometime charm is lost. I suppose, having both original and copies gives the best of all worlds.<br /><br />I note that my parents weren't the only ones to practice the art of tiny subjects in massive backgrounds.<br /><br />Until I enlarged the picture of the two youngsters on the mountain, I thought it was a Scotsman in a kilt with a long staff and a child to left.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147904112441997460.post-52416625238443737312013-02-27T01:01:00.581-06:002013-02-27T01:01:00.581-06:00I LOVE seeing the images as the original owner wou...I LOVE seeing the images as the original owner would have seen them. Instead of just stepping back in time it makes you feel like you're behind the lens.<br /><br />Child with large drink? What the heck is going on with that kids stomach???<br /><br />And I love the third one down. "The Claw!"
