Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Tin-type photos

I have scanned tin types quite effectively. The problem you often encounter is that they tend to be very dark. There is a program that I have used to correct these problems that is free and very user friendly. If you have a computer that runs the Windows operating system Google ,Windows Live Photo Gallery. This program allows you to adjust for color, exposure, straighten the image, adjust and crop the image. The best thing is that anything you do to the image can be undone at anytime by hitting the return to original image button. You also have the ability to label every person in a photo and the metadata created when you do that goes along with the image when you share it with someone else. Imagine receiving a group photo from someone and running your cursor over the image and seeing the names appear. I love this free program and recommend it to anyone who is trying to deal with historic photos. There is no sadder item to be had than an album of photos that are not labeled and the faces are unknown.
