Problem: Had entrusted some color lab to transfer my negatives into digital images. Their scan job is crappy at best. Possible Solution: Now I am left with the task of having to scan hundreds of photographs so as to preserve them. Or to photograph with my 4 megapixel Sony.
Tools: Adobe CS [aka Photoshop 8] and HP Scanjet 7400c in XP Pro
When I scan some photos that have more dark fields than others, the problem is intensely amplified. For example, there are these micro-organisms that feed off the paper which in turn puts a dent into the photo. Ordinarily I use the close tool to fix this problem. But what I am wondering is if there are other ways to obviate this problem before I even transfer it into the Adobe workspace from the scanner.
I can provide a sample photo to illustrate the problem in JPG form for those who give me an answer. Thanks in advance!
