Thanks @qwerrie no I didn't know that they existed but Now I do thanks to you!
Which i good, cause I have thousands more to go and I haven't even started on the negatives...
I have already done most of mums old B&W, but not put them through photoshop yet.it's all very time consuming isn't it...
ofc, it is! retouching one (one!) old photo, trying different scenarios, cleaning up the traces of time, restoring the color after scanning - this may take a couple of decent work hours even for one photo. I scanned one paper album from my wife family archive 12 years ago - and did nothing more about it after the scanning itself.
ok, wish you well with this job, its a noble labour of love! next time. and a little mushroom !PIZZA for you.
Haa thanks so much for the mushroom pizza!
So I've got myself into a little routine the last couple of days- (still in lockdown..) So I have my little scanning box sitting on some cardboard boxes on my dining room table so it is chest height and so I can stand, dance- just keep moving while I'm scanning the photos.
When I have completed one category- divvied up into the places I was, I move over to the computer, put them into their digital folders, put them through photoshop, create a scheduled post for peakd, then upload them to google photos too.
which I think are ok, but learnt even more in PS today and think that this new batch is going to be even better- scheduled for next Wednesday and this weds, I've pre-made a post where the paper and images are really degraded, so I used a few options to stylise them instead of keeping them as natural as possible...and since it's of New York City, I think it fits right in...Actually these are photos that I touched up yesterday https://peakd.com/hive-117778/@chocolatescorpi/the-dinner-time-bbq-that-started-off-a-3-month-accidental-camping-trippart-1-basalt-to-hagermans-pass-hive-117778
So I'm on a real learning curve here- both with photoshop and peakd- doing my first scheduled posts! 😃
I really want to get through this batch of photos and start on the negatives, then onto my really REALLY old photos...and then put mum's through photoshop and onto her FB page as I am suing that as a memorial page for her.
And I don't want to waste time as it really is flying by and lockdown will be over and I'll be back at work all too soon with no time to focus on this...
" learning curve - both with photoshop and peakd" - that sounds up to me, and very fruitful / promising (at least for yourself!)
ps. Colorado Ivanhoe lake images are really stunning.
😃
Haa yeah- no need to let my mind go soft when there's so much to learn- especially when it's for my benefit...
And thank you. So many images up there were/are so stunning. I'd love to go back up and shoot it again.
Wait till part 2 comes out next week and you'll see the downhill trip (which took a few more days and many more photos....🤣..)
