TIP OF THE WEEK –
HELP WITH YOUR OLD PHOTOS
On our Seattle Genealogical Society Networking Group Facebook page, a
member posted this question, “I’m wondering if there’s a safe process
for bringing out what’s written on the back of old photograph cardboard
stock that the photo was mounted on. Looks like maybe pencil”.
Several members replied they have had luck scanning the back of the
photograph at the highest resolution possible and then using a photo
editing application to adjust the contrast and brightness, etc.
Possibly with this technique, you will be able to make out what was
written on the back of that precious old photograph.
