Book Review: A Great Resource for Anyone Working with Old Photos
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
My dad is a passionate genealogist who has recently started storing and restoring old photographs. We have boxes and albums full of old, faded photos to wade through. We don't want to lose these priceless images, but there is only so much that a program will automatically perform for you when you are trying to restore shadowy, blobby images that you aren't even sure what the details are! My dad is definitely not a book person, but I am! When I saw this book, I knew that it was just what we needed to help us out with the software that we have and let us know what we are capable of doing.
I found this book to be very approachable and easy to understand. This is definitely saying something as I do not understand a lot of the technical aspects involved with computers or computer programs as well as my dad does. We found everything that we were looking for in this book. There is a very helpful table of contents and a great index to help you find what you need as quickly and easily as possible. Also, this book is packed with photograph examples ranging from classic black-and-whites to full color restoration. I was not necessarily a fan of all the photo examples that the author chose (there are some nude photos inside the book), but I guess I understand why the examples were chosen. From the basics of eliminating red eye to cleaning dirt to restoring warm, realistic colors this book shows you all of the tips and tricks that you will need to know!
This book is too technical for a casual reader on the subject, but if you are working on a specific project and need some hints and or specific tricks and tips, this is a great book to buy for yourself or as a gift for a friend! And I am not just talking about genealogists or photo restorers, I am talking about those who scrapbook or craft with photos as a hobby. The author will help you select which computer program will best suit your needs, how to pull photos off of slides, how to store hard copies of photos and so much more! This is a great resource for anyone!
