Mold and image fading was the noticeable problems of damage to a one of a kind of family photograph, and just one of a number submitted. Not to mention that the image was still wet and in a stage of a soft and fragile emulsion. This was the first area of damage to be addressed and made a priority before further handling could be accomplished. We proceeded to apply our "Premier Print Dryer Model TP (Twin Print)/110. " The wet photographs were placed emulsion side up and monitored until flat and completely dry, approximately 10 minutes of time on average heat.
Now that the photos were dry and flat, they were subjected to intense ultra violet light to prevent further damage from the growing mold. Once completed the prints were safe to handle without further damaging the emulsion and the image. I prefer individual scanning rather than batch scanning so I can adjust setting based on the damage, and I have more control using a Flat Bed Scanner in the RGB Mode. For the restoration process I prefer "Adobe Photo shop" CS 3, 4 or 5. Two scans are required, the first to retain the original image and a second scan for the working copy, or the original scan be duplicated in "Photo Shop" for the same results.
Since the images were very faded due to being subjected to prolonged water exposure, my|healthcare professional|personal|my own, personal|search terms|my own , personal|medical professional|published|health care provider|my business|all of my|of my|excellent|my own personal|keyword phrases|a|offered|economical|day-to-day|web page} first attempts were made in Photo shop to intensify the RGB composite. When evaluating the initial results, which were not satisfactory, I decided to approach the RGB Channels to achieve the desired workable file. Each Channel was isolated separately evaluating the Mid-tones, Shadows and the Highlights of each channel. Of the three Channels, the Red one showed the most promise. It was duplicated to a new blank document with the use of the Histogram Tool.
