Patrick Quinn Ireland
« on: Friday 21 July 17 19:04 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I have finally gotten to where I can fix folds and scratches, but this one is way beyond my ability. Hopefully somebody out there can make this look a little better. Also wondering if the decade could be determined. The is a photo of Patrick Quinn, born in Co Longford Ireland, in the 1830's or 40's.

Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank, there have been some great restores so far, notably from HandyPandy.

I took a quick look at the digital photo and there are three things I notice:
- the scan resolution (300dpi) is fine though 600 dpi would be even better
- it has visible vertical 'banding'
- it has quite a bit of JPG compression 'noise'

I'm a relative beginner at restoration but it would help me make a stab at it you would adjust your scan settings so that:
- you scan at the highest resolution possible
- the scanner saves the scan file not as a JPG file but as an (uncompressed) TIFF or BMP file; TIFF is better (smaller file)

Your scanned TIFF (or BMP) file will be much larger than you can post as an attachment on Rootschat so you need to upload the (uncompressed) digital  photo somewhere online (Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, etc.) and then post a link to the photo here,

Note that you only need to do this if you're less than satisfied with the restores posted here!

The reason I ask is that my usual approach to 'de-banding' (Fast Fourier Transform) doesn't seem to work very well with this photo. I suspect this is because of the JPG 'noise' in the photo. I can't promise anything, but I suspect that a 'cleaner' (TIFF) digital photo would help me to remove the vertical banding.

If more experienced restorers think otherwise than I stand corrected!

Mike
