Our parents and grandparents often took numerous pictures, which we inherit, often without the background to understand what they represent. It can be a major chore just to get the people identified, much less reveal how these people from our past impacted those who took the pictures, and, through them, ourselves.

These old photos present several unique challenges.
They often require repair or rework to save them.
We are often faced with tons of them at once.
There is usually no indication of when the pictures were taken, what the occasion was, or who the people are.
It is often difficult to find anyone who can identify the people or places.
We created and printed an album of unidentified people and took it to a family reunion to get names. The books were a hit -- we didn't get most of them back.
Now we use online albums so we don't lose what we share.

Tons of snapshots have been processed and then stored away in shoeboxes and drawers. We inherit so many fragile photographs of long forgotten aunts and uncles, and once dear family friends.  We puzzle over the time worn treasures of our family’s history and wonder who these people were and how we are connected to them.  Maybe it’s not too late to put names and dates to many of these dimming faces.  The ability to scan, preserve and share these heirlooms is now at our fingertips.

 
   

  More old photos, scanned and repaired, some taken over 60 years ago, to share with distant family. Brightened, clarified, straightened, cropped, cracks and creases repaired, with Corel PaintShop 9.  Because the original prints were scanned at a high resolution, 300 to 400 dpi, depending on the size of the print, the repaired images can be reprinted in a larger size than the original, sometimes bringing long forgotten, precious memories to life.  We created an album at dotPhoto because of the ease of purchasing prints of the desired sizes and because the cost is very reasonable.
