I know there are a good number of people here with great knowledge, so I am trying to get some...
My mom made a number of travel books over the years... most of the stuff is articles, post cards, pics cut out of whatever, but there are pictures she took of herself sprinkled throughout these books... I want to scan them so we can save them and share with family.... not that interested in her pics if she is not in them....
One of the problems is that these were put into books before acid free became a thing... so a number are faded....
My question is what is the best format to scan them into? This is just to get them into a computer.
What scan rate should be used? IOW, DPI...
What program is best to try and get them back to original as we can?
Thanks...
