I am needing some help with this ? I will explain as follows ?
Re image one (on the left)
I have the original pic (it is 12?x8?), which is about 75 years old. I have scanned it (in colour at 600dpi ? bmp file is 85mb) I will be repairing and printing the pic for the family. The pic was given the ?sepia? treatment when it was printed 75 years ago and that treatment made this blonde lady a brunette ? so I need some suggestions to make her blonde again (the dark bits are making my attempts look very false) I also have to lighten the eyes as they are far too dark (hers are blue)? the next part of the problem is that a test print has highlighted the mottled paper that the photo studio used (refer inset at bottom right of left pic) and I need to loose that mottled effect without effecting the sharpness of the original image ? am not sure if I will print the final version with the sepia effect or go to black and white (am open to suggestions on this)
Now re the second image (on right) ? I have shown it, as this is the other thing I will be doing with the final image (the 12x8 image c/w blonde hair) will be reduced to about 10% of it?s original (12x8) size ? hope someone can give me some pointers.. Thanks
