A good graphics program can do wonders for those old photos but can be costly and have a steep learning curve fror some.

I use Corel's Paint Shop Pro XI which is reasonably priced compared to others. Here an example of a recent restore of one of my families old photo's.

You can see how bad the condition is in the orignal scan and the results achieved with program. A nearly lost photo has been saved for more genrations to come.

If you have a old photo you would like some help with; at no charge, contact me for instruction and I'll help if I can.
