![]() Wolfen: You've done some pretty good job. How did you bring back the green in the background ? Via Image > Adjustments > Variations ? |

![]() jstuartj: Hey thanks for the advice... I might re-do the entire picture and try your suggestions, I am really just playing with it. Even though this might be a christmas present for my parents. The picture is about 24 years old, on cheap photo paper and was sun damaged. You see that cheeky little girl in that picture is me when I was a cub. I was 14 months old when that picture was taken. I figured it would be nice to fix it up in time for christmas. |

![]() I would avoid scanning directly to CYMK, you would only limit your tonal range. Scan at the highest true resolution or the scanner or as large a file as you can stand to work with. I scan at 2400ppi, that is interpolated in scanner to 600ppi at final size. For best results scan in 16bit RGB, Which is sometimes refered in scaning software as 48 Bit (16bit per channel). This will give you a much greater tonal range to begin with. |
