Press Release Summary = IT-Enquirer announces a new PDF tutorial on restoring old colour photographs to their original condition. The eBook teaches people how to scan their photos, and then correct the colours using LaserSoft SilverFast scanning software, Adobe Photoshop CS2, and Apple Aperture 1.0.
Press Release Body = We may not realize it, but digital photography, affordable for most consumers, exists less than a decade. Before the digital photo era, we used to take pictures with analogue cameras, capturing light and scenes on film. Processing film and printing photographs was the result of a chemical process.
Most people have a shoe box full of old photographs and negatives. Most printed photographs will have degraded colours and will need restoration. Unless the negatives of those pictures are in good condition, there is no way to restore the printed photograph. Of a large number of photographs, most people will not have a negative in their possession.
\"Even with negatives in the box, my experience is that these have been degraded as well,\" says Erik Vlietinck, who wrote the 45-page tutorial. \"That\'s why I decided to write this eBook. IT will teach people how to quickly get discolored prints back to their original state.\" Saving those pictures digitally will additionally protect them against further degrading.
The eBook tutorial teaches people how to scan their photographs, and how to use SilverFast, Photoshop or Aperture to correct the digital copies so they match the printed photo back when it was shot by the photographer in the sixties, seventies or eighties. \"I wanted to include iPhoto as well,\" the author explains, \"but iPhoto\'s restoration tools are too limited in their abilities.\"
The result is a tutorial that will help people who have a scanner and Photoshop LE, Photoshop Elements or Aperture.
The eBook is available as a PDF download for 6 USD / 5 EUR at http://www.it-enquirer.com/main/ite/more/colour_correcting_old_photographs/
