Nick, great photos!
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.

Thanks Glenn,
First time scanning,  Roll Eyes 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.

Cheers Ret   Grin
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.. Grin....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!  Roll Eyes )
