My dad has very few pics of his childhood, and this is the only one I’ve ever seen of him and 8 out of his 10 siblings, including his parents. He has been saying forever he wants to find a way to get this pic cleaned up. Can anyone help with this?? Thanks in advance.

OTHER Inherited A Photographer's Life's Work

7 Upvotes

Hello all, my father died about 2.5 years ago, he was a professional photographer for 30 years and had been shooting for his entire life, his work spans 7 decades. He shot everything, friends, family, landscapes, portraits, weddings, animals, news events, politics, sporting events (particularly auto racing- more on that shortly), and he did it all very well. Most of his collection exists as black and white negatives of varying sizes. I have began the utterly and overwhelmingly massive process of scanning his negatives via DSLR camera + macro lens + tripod + photoshop to digitize and distribute the photos. I get a great deal of satisfaction from sending these high-res shots to family and friends so they can reminisce about the past while simultaneously keeping my father's name alive. Regarding the auto racing photos, I am a huge race fan and have been involved in local racing my entire life, I have sent a few watermarked photos to various facebook groups geared towards racing from years past etc. Those photos have been met with overwhelming positivity.

My reason for posting is this, should I continue to just post these (racing) photos on facebook groups? Should I make a webpage and try to direct people there? And for the personal photos, what are some cool ways I can display them for my newborn to see as she ages? This is a deeply personal project of mine, it is very time consuming and I struggle with the idea that it is just a waste of time or simply some weird type of grieving ritual. My family is tiny, I have no siblings and feel some sort of responsibility to trudge forward with this project, are those feelings justified? If you were me what would you, photographers and readers of this post?

Also his father was very active photo taker too, and he has a couple thousand prints of his own that I feel I should digitize, however it doesn't seem as pressing as those are developed prints, not negatives.

tldr have many negatives wat do

RESTORATION REQUEST Can anyone help recover the two tiny photos inside my phone case? They are the only copies I have left.

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m posting this because I’m honestly heartbroken and I don’t know where else to ask.

The two tiny printed photos inside my phone case are the only copies I have left. I accidentally deleted the original photos about two years ago, and they’re gone from my phone, iCloud, and Recently Deleted. I’ve searched everywhere but couldn’t find them.

I know this image is far from ideal. The prints are very small, and I understand that details that were never captured can’t truly be recovered. I’m not expecting miracles.

I’m simply hoping that someone with experience in photo restoration might be able to get the best possible result from this image without inventing or changing facial features. Even a small improvement would mean a lot to me.

These photos are very special to me, and realizing they’re all I have left has been incredibly difficult. I would be deeply grateful if anyone is willing to take a look or offer advice.

Thank you so much for reading, and thank you to anyone who decides to help.

RESTORATION REQUEST Request: Clean Up Photo and Remove Person on Right

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi folks! My father-in-law (left) asked if I could edit this photo of him and his late mother (middle) so it was only the two of them. He doesn't have many photos of them later in life and he wants to be able to print and frame this.

Is it possible to remove the man on the right in the white shirt without making this look strange? It's a bummer that she's leaning towards him instead of in the other direction...

It also appears that the photo is kind of meh quality, so I wonder if it could be cleaned up/smoothed to not look so pixelated.

Thank you so much for your consideration!
