I was afraid I would ruin my scanner if I tried doing that. I have several tin type photos and know who they are of, and sure would love to get copies of them. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about getting copies of tin type photos made. I'll try some of your suggestions. You're all great. Bessie

I was able to have tin types of my great grandparents copied and restored to beautiful photos at JC Pennys studios years ago. At that time the cost was $25 photo but they are just beautiful and much clearer than the originals. With th digital camera today I would think taking the picture of the photo and then enhancing with a photo program (I use Kodak program) would work. WalMart might also make copies, but I would be worried about letting them out of my hands. Good luck, Judie > Is there any way to copy tin type photos, or anywhere that > does do copies of them?

Ancestry Quick tip Jamboree: Making Copies of Tintypes It's time for this week's Ancestry Quick Tip Jamboree! Thanks to everyone who has sent in a Quick Tip. Please keep them coming so that we can keep this tradition going. You can send your tips to: ADNeditor@ancestry.com Quick Tips may be reprinted, with credit to the submitter, in other Ancestry publications, so if you do not want your tip included in a publication other than the Ancestry Daily News and Ancestry Weekly Digest, please state so clearly in your message. Have a great day! Juliana -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tintypes Wow-What an amazing response we had to B.J.'s request for information on scanning tintypes. Thanks to everyone who wrote in! Unfortunately we won't have space to run all the tips, but here is a selection. I'll sneak in some others in upcoming weeks. Thanks again to everyone, Juliana Tintypes have a lot of silver in them, which scans blue in the light spectrum. When you do a scan, open the scanning software and see if you can adjust the RGB or the color spectrum in the software. Some will let you see what the effects will be while you are doing it. My guess is you need to increase the yellow end and decrease the red. But try that out and see if that works better. Good luck. Nancy McCormick-Kovacich When you scan a tintype, select greyscale (256 colors) as your scan type and all colors (even blue tints) will come out as grey. Eric Naples, Florida Try using a camera, with macro setting, to photograph the picture. A digital camera can then download the image to a computer. A film camera will require scanning the print. RAP1 To do a tintype, I used a zoom camera with black and white film. I got better results. CK I've never scanned a tintype photo, but I work for an advertising company and I've scanned a lot of really old photos for family reunion t-shirts. Every scanner I've ever worked with has color correction software. Your owner's manual will explain how it works. The only tintype photos I've ever seen that were colored were done so by hand. If there's no color in the photo then scanning it in grayscale mode should give a more detailed image. Adobe Photoshop can certainly correct any color shifts as well. Photoshop is an expensive piece of software, but if there's a Kinko's near you they can help you at a very reasonable charge. Hope this helps. Boyd Teague I have a family portrait on a tintype from about 1900. It is very dark. An attempt to photocopy it yielded a rectangular black spot. Before scanners were around, I took several 35mm photos of it, using a close-up lens and various length exposures. To the naked eye, the longer exposures produced photos much better than the original. Once I had a good copy, I could identify the family members and photocopy all the copies I needed to hand out at a family reunion. Scanners may now be able to match this quality. A good photography store is likely to have the professional advice and technology you need. Tom P. Smith I can relate how I successfully copied tintypes instead of scanning them. In fact, since they are an emulsion backed with a blacking on the metal plate they probably won't scan very well, although I have never tried to reproduce them that way. I found that if one uses a conventional copy stand with film media (I use Agfapan 125) and light the tintype at a very steep angle on each side it really makes the image "pop". I successfully copied tintypes this way that were so darkened they could hardly be distinguished by the naked eye. Alan B.
