Where could I have this done? > (and is it possible?) Well, a good photoshop should be able to duplicate your prints using color processing -- and duplicate the sepia aging that way. Alternatively, one could scan them, use a photoediting program (Photoshop, say) to first remove the sepia tint, restoring the original B/W look, clean up the image, then apply an artificial sepia effect, finally printing them on a good archival photoprinter. Out of boredom one weekend, I took an old, and quite yellowed, 4x6 of my parent's wedding, scanned it, removed the yellow, set the shadows to full black, tweaked the gamma curve to reveal the edge between shadow and lapel on my father's suit, and finished by "hand tinting" the roses in red and green (stems) -- then printed at 8x10 and sent them a copy of the result. -- > ============================================================== < > wlfraed@ix.netcom.com | Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber KD6MOG < > wulfraed@dm.net | Bestiaria Support Staff < > ============================================================== < > Bestiaria Home Page: http://www.beastie.dm.net/ < > Home Page: http://www.dm.net/~wulfraed/ <
