- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
OK kids, I have another question that walks that fine line between digital and film...
Yesterday I spent time attempting to get a decent scan of a 100-or-so year old photograph, and no matter how I changed settings and messed with Paint Shop Pro filters/effects/adjustments, I just couldn't get a sharp scan.
Finally I looked closely at the photo itself and realized part of my problem was light from the scanner hitting the semi-flat surface texture of the photo itself.
Is there a way to prevent this "reflection"?
Any tips would be appreciated.
(see attached scan)
