Improving Newsprint images
« on: June 21, 2006, 07:08:26 PM »
Any ideas on how to scan an old b&w picture from a newsprint magazine and improve the quality ?

I have an old "Combat" magazine with a photo of a "young"  Kenny Taylor in it.
Cryf oedd calon hen y glas glogwyni,
Cryfach oedd ei ebill ef a'i ddur,
Chwyddodd gyfoeth gwr yr aur a'r faenol,
O'i enillion prin a'i amal gur.

Erm, yes. When you prepare to scan your scanning software should give you some options, some of which are usually made for this task. This kind of stuff is usually buried in "advanced mode" - if the software has that available. I *think* the crap you get from magazine images are known as moire paterns, that might help if the scanners software is complicated.









Otherwise you could just bring it to me!!
