This one is an aunty who died a couple of years after this was taken about 1920. Salvaged from cleanup at grandparents place in the 70's.
Using Elements 2.
Really good work on those Stoner, I'm just amazed at how old those pics are!
The smile isn't quite Mona Lisa, but 'tis much less stern :up:
I guess it must have taken alot af planning and preparation to capture images back then, and I think it's really cool you have images that date back so far reflecting your lineage.
Those photos must be (and should be) treasures to you.
Be interesting in a hundred years when we are all dead and gone and one of the great grand kids finds a box of old cd's in the attic. "what are these mum?"

This is a shot of my front garden from a few years ago...
Yes I shot into the sun using an instant disposable camera , but I was wondering if anyone could sort of clean it up a bit. ie define, but don't take away the neighbour's golf cart (it identifies when and where we were living)
There was no garden at all when we moved in...just rocks and grass, so it would be nice to have for the before and subsequent later years garden shots.
Thanks in advance if you can fix it....or tell me to toss it because it's not worth fixing .

File size is really far to small to spend any time on it so I have just quickly altered the contrast and sharpened it a bit. If you have a copy at a higher resolution we could probably get a better result but "into the sun" shots can be tricky.
Wowsers! That's terrific, Gerry! Thanks!!
What do you mean higher resolution?
I have the original scan (1641x2297 708 KB) and after saving it (1170x778 441 KB) then I made it smaller to post here.
I'm pretty happy with what you did though...much brighter :up:

Hi again,
The maximum size you can upload here to tsg is 200 kb which is a necessary limit but still leaves enough info for a reasonable looking internet photo. Have a go reducing the size but keeping the end result somewhere between 100/200 kbs. Be aware though that the image you have doesn't look like you will get a real good result because of the sun.
This is an old photo, date unknown, but by the age of my relative, late 1800's.
The first scan looks a bit darker than it did with the human eye. The surface of the paper was not glossy and I suspect that added to the darkness?
The second is only a gamma correction.
I probably spent too much time on this one.
So, I'll ask......what's the easiest way to get glare out of a photo?
BTW, the scene thru the windows was unknown
I did know that it was a business setting, so I added some old buildings.
These are cut down images, the brick street shows up nicely in the 'full' size.
Wow now you have really done good. Getting the glare/washed out look out is very hard if it can even be done Stoner so you may of spend a lot of time but I bet it was the only way to do it. Now there may of been a more easy way but still it takes lots of time.
How did you even bring out all you did is just great. Nice effect adding the other building too.
Can you post over at imageshack the bigger versions?
Hey stoner, good job. I was looking at your master piece and my monitor started moving. It took a few seconds to realise we were having a small eartquake. So it wasn't your picture making the earth move.
