Photo advice wanted - Polaroid instamatic photos

[Countryquine]

Hello

I wonder if any of the experts on this forum could give some advice?   I have a number of black and white photos which were taken with one of those Polaroid Instamatic cameras - you know the kind where it printed and spat out your photo right away.

The big drawback to these are that they fade over time.   Is there any way of restoring them?

I ought to gather them together and scan into my pc before they deteriorate further but thought I would post this now in case something could be done with them.

Thanks

Your best chance is to scan them at a resolution of 400dpi and in colour then post them here to see what we can do with them.

As Treetotal suggests scan and post one here

Or

You may like to download and install Gimp and DIY, Gimp is a free photo manipulation programme along the lines of Adobe Photoshop.

I would certainly scan them all for your records before they deteriorate further. Why not post one on here and we can see if we can improve it. If we can help, you can then decide if you want us to work on the rest or whether you would like to try for yourself as Colin describes.
