Repair Damage Scanned Photographs in Photo Editing Software

"Old photographs seem to collect dirt, scratches, and bad textures as they collect dust in shoeboxes and photo albums. If you’ve taken the task of scanning them, but have found damage and scratches, here’s how to fix them."

If you need to repair a few scanned photographs, here is a guide on how to do it. In addition to Photoshop, the guide also offers references to Paint.net and GIMP, which is useful for those who do not have Photoshop. However, if you have a lot more than a handful of photos to repair, I suggest looking for a flatbed scanner with Digital ICE technology. The extra time needed to scan with ICE will be a lot lot less than the time spent touching up, even if you have to make minor corrections to catch the damage ICE missed out after the scan.

Couple Hits Snag Over Splitting Family Photos

"When M.R. and E.R. decided to call it quits after more than 20 years of marriage, they had no trouble agreeing on how to split the marital home or how to handle custody of their children. But when it came to figuring out how to divide more than 7,000 photographs, the picture got blurrier."

Jake Ludington (Mediablab.com) sent along a link to the above story (which, in turn, draws from an article taken from the New York Law Journel), and, at first, my thought was "Gee, that is sad - but how does this story apply to 'Digital Home Thoughts?'" Of course, upon reflection, the situation presented poses several questions to ponder for those of us with an interest in photography, and particularly those who are also either married or in some other long-term relationship: 1) How difficult would it be for you to part with a significant portion of the photographic prints you have taken over the years? 2) If asked for advice, what method(s) would you recommend for duplicating photographic prints, notably Polaroids or other prints that lack negatives? And, 3) Given the rise of digital cameras, is this scenario one that is only likely to happen with people above a certain age (and what would that age be, approximately?), or has the recent increase in popularity of "instant prints" resulted in more hard copy only prints?
