I want to digitize my photo albums. As the albums need to go to my ex-wife, I want to scan at the best possible quality (size is not a major issue). I have a scanner, which does a decent job, but it will be quite hard to fit some of the pages on the scanner glass. I have found that taking...

I use Unsharp Mask quite often. I find these presets from Kelby very useful: Is it possible to develop presets for these? I have searched the web, but could not find anything. [/FONT] [/FONT]

Yes, I like it. I am not sure if one needs to bring in some sepia?? What editing tools did you use and if you used PS, what were your settings, as the original scanned ones are app 10 MB big. I therefore will not be able to use your image. Thanks a lot for helping!

Yes, these ones do have a charm of their own. Can you suggest any better settings? I want to print and display these photos. I just attached a few of the photos that I want to use in the second post. I thought of framing them, with a central bigger one- I actually like the last one in the...

This is not so old, but a photo of my late brother taken in the early 60's. My mother laminated the photo, now it is fading. For me this is really hard to get better!

These are some of the photos that I need advice on. All taken in the 20's and 30's of the previous century, I think: Any general advice will help or good articles

This is my great grandmother at 80 (Scanned images): Anyone that wants to help me or give me a link to a good tutorial?

Thank you, Steve. Two questions: 1. If I want to print pictures, the closest to what will be printed will therefore be what I see on Photoshop? 2. If I want to show a lot a photos on my laptop to friends/family- what programme will be the best and fastest to scroll from one picture to another...

What is the best programme in your opinion to view edited photos especially to see how close they will be to printed gloss photos? I do not print photos myself, but use a local shop.

I attach more photos- it seems as if the sharpening is really the culprit! This is the same picture at 119 sharpening viewed with Irfanview: A series of new pictures: At 119 sharpening: At 25 sharpening: In Photoshop, at 119 In PS at 25 Irfanview at 119 sharpening:

I have a Canon EOS 450D and started taking photos in RAW and edited the photos afterwards with the PS RAW editing function. Often, the result on the "RAW screen" is good enough and I do not open PS CS5. The following happened (I edited nearly 100 photos like this, but printing them was a...

Settings for Canon EOS 450, Adobe Camera RAW, PS CS 5 and printing photos= changing I have a Canon CS EOS 450, have used PS CS5 in the past. I have now been made aware of Camera RAW and have started using it. My problem is that the images varies when I open the photos in different programs. My...

Thanks for your quick response, I appreciate it. My need is usually to print some photos )I basically do not have other needs )- in this case 200 wedding jumbo photos! So, I start in RAW and follow the sequence- white balance, light, contrast, vibrance and then some sharpening in RAW- usually...

Thanks Steve My question is- and I post another picture- if I edit in RAW, the image looks very well.When I carry on and open in PS, some of the detail has disappeared and I need to sharpen a bit more. I post these two pictures. The first one after editing in RAW and the second one just after...
