Ian, Get a copy of the book 'Photoshop Restoration & Retouching' by Katrin Eismann Cheers Jayanand Govindaraj Chennai, India ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Lind To: DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 2:10 AM Subject: [Digital BW] Salvaging damaged negatives Is there a technique in Photoshop that might help with this? I'm trying to salvage 25-year old B&W negatives that have been damaged by poor storage. It's a long story, but the images have historic value, hence the salvage effort. In any case, there is extensive crazing in the emulsion of the 35mm Tri-X negatives, leaving a visible pattern of random cracks in the image and leaving an overall gray tone. Here's a link to a sample image: http://ilind.net/gallery_old/ritte1976/image/ritte7.jpg Any ideas for how to approach a problem of this kind? All suggestions appreciated.
