You'll need to play around with the descreen option when scanning the ones that have the cross-hatch pattern. Same goes for glossy magazine pics, scanned normally a weird pattern comes out. Title: Re: a few old photos Post by: 20.4_seconds on August 24, 2005, 10:55:52 PM Thanks Glenn,
First time scanning, ::) I will give it a go later as that last pic is a classic, you can see the good shapes of so many sedans and wagons it's not funny.

Scanning those old pics can be a bugger!! I have a better version of that Spencer St Station shot too BTW, save you re-scanning that one... you can see it here http://www.fefcholden.org.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=otherimg;action=display;num=1110963966 Keep those pics coming...!!! Cheers Les... ;) Title: Re: a few old photos Post by: 20.4_seconds on August 25, 2005, 08:18:33 AM Cheers Ret ;D
And thanks again Les that Spencer St pic is awsome, I found all of them in "The Menzies Years" book at a local op shop - $4 bucks.. ;D....got some lovely shots of FJ's also and one of ex Prime Minister Ben Chifley's funeral with over 20 black mint FJ Holdens in the cortage. I will get scanning....and no political comments either..I just bought the book to look at the pics(can't read yet! ::) ) Title: Re: a few old photos Post by: 20.4_seconds on September 23, 2005, 08:49:28 AM Just trying this one again, ::) I will delete if crap!!!
hard photo to scan and keep all the small detail..... Just save the image to your PC and use your image viewer to magnify it..heaps of holdens in it..heaps ;D (http://tinypic.com/dx08pw.jpg) Nick |
