Restoring Treasured Family Photos
Mar 8, 2019 09:50:02 #
My nephew had old family photos in his collection and was kind enough to share them with me.
The photo was taken in the early 1900s in Salinas, Puerto Rico. It is of my grandmother, Juana de la Paz Maldonado.
Time has taken its toll on the emulsion, cracking it and leaving a black spot on its surface. Mold? Ink?
Within Windows 10 there is a handy application I used to repair and enhance the photo bringing new life to it.
Something for you to think about using yourself without having to spend an arm and a leg on a photo app.

Very nice work. I've done quite a bit of that sort of thing myself. I even had one restoration published in a book on retouching and restoration.

In Windows 10, What is the App called. I have Photoshop so I probably would never use any internal Windows 10 graphic arts applications. But I am curious to know something I did not notice.

If you have Microsoft Windows 10 the application is already tied into the program within photos.
Open up a photo and you will see that you have the ability to edit that photo.
You can enhance it, change the tone and hues as well as adjust the photo.
Click upon adjust photos and scroll down to where it says, spot fix. Spot fix is that part of the app where you can retouch spots, cracks, and even fix red eye.
Thanks.

No real name attached to it. Just "edit."
It opens when you click upon a photo to view it.
Thanks.

What are the best apps to use on iPhone 7plus?? I've always loved to take pictures and want to start again. Thanks

A screenshot. Open a picture in "Photos" in Windows 10. Go to the edit function on the top right (not shown here) and click on the "Spot Fix" button under the Adjust tab. The blue dot is where you want to fix an issue. You can move it around. I've not used this yet, and there is nothing wrong with the picture, but I just wanted to send this screenshot for anyone else who wants to try it. I'll get around to it myself.

I have used this application for photos that don’t require extensive PP and was quite pleased with the results. But I’ve never used it to do extensive restoration, thinking that such was beyond its capabilities. I’ll make a point of trying that spot fix tool on my next old family photo I work on.
