Fix photo

[Wildman]

Hi all, I have a pic that isn't digi, but I neen some fixing on it. It is a pic from a few years back. ;)

It is full of cracks. It is a Polaroid. I don't think can handle it much more.


I am having a problem scanning/saving to a size to post on the board. The pic is 4.25 h X 3.50 w in inches.


What do I need to have my scanner settings at, to get a saver, sized right for posting?


Is there a web site, that I can b/m that has conversions charts?

I'm about ready to prop it against something and shoot it with my HP Digi.



Thanks , WM

Wildman...if you'll send it to me, I'll resize it for you and see what I can do to fix it. Might be able to clean it up a bit... :) irmuzz@charter.net

Uh oh!!

Hmmmmmmmm, let me ponder on this before and after thing.



I guess it will probably be ok, as long as it isn't Mark, Crockett or RJB, doing the "after" part. :rolleyes:

Feal free to post the before and after, so everyone can see the change.


Let me try yo get done with this little project, what time does class start?

Sorry took s long to reply.....came home from work early yestrday a.m. with the flu bug.
rob......I used PhotoSuite III to crop and enhance and remove scratches(also removed a few wrinkles...sorry Tom.....LOL) then put into PSP to make the frame. Using the same colors from the photo, I used Eye Candy to bevel the inside frame and and filter called Simple to half-wrap and make the neat effect on the frame.
