Ships of the old Portuguese cod fishing fleet 0
JR added these comments in the current discussion du jour ...
JR, from what I have heard since coming here just a few months ago, just about anything at all that floats is on-topic enough to post, so please do unless you also mean your father's pics are also "inappropriate". Too bad you don't have the original photos as modern technology might be able to increase the quality of already good scans. These scans *are* of the original photos... I spent some time in paintshop "working" some of them, but the original camera was a cheap model anyway... OK. Then, why are they so noisy? Maybe because the originals were grainy, perhaps from a high-speed film and/or print paper? I should have clarified my question in the beginning. I'm hardly criticizing the photography whether it was a good or not so good camera nor your efforts as a scanner. What actually caught my eye was the large size in KB of the images which I recognized as coming from the noise. Scanners convert either half-tone printing process "dots" or silver halide film negs and prints grain as geometrically random noise in the scan, which I'm sure you know how to control with descreening at scan time and various noise reduction techniques in PS or other graphics app. -- HP, aka Jerry "If it waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck" |

I for one think they are of historical importance and you should treasure them. Thanks for sharing them here. |
