Classic video Dylan. Cleaned up a few edges of my work flow technique.
I’d appreciate more though. e.g. when and when not to use the AI noise and sharpening.
You described well when and when not to use the face sharpening.
Thanks

I would like to see how you would “restore” old color prints and slides

The recovered soldier’s face only looks realistic to someone who doesn’t know that person. The eyes shape changed noticeably to me. The AI is doing what it can to produce similar eyes, but it has a lot of latitude about judging that similarity.

Thanks Dylan.
I have a number of old vintage photos which I have scanned as JEPGs but ON! does not recognise them. When I asked On1 support I was told that On1 does not support grey scan images.
What did you do to get the old photos into On1?
Thanks Phil

Hi Phil,
How did you scan the photos? As Black & White or as Color.
I always scan my old photos and negatives as Color. This gave me more flexibility in things like tone, Saturation, ect.
Kind Regards,
Alex W.

The only way to scan old photos is in color. You can convert to Greyscale or Sepia later if desired, AFTER any repair work.
Most “B&W” (greyscale) scans are limited to 256 colors, limiting what can be done to repair them, so virtually all photo programs won’t accept them, as what would be the point when the results would range from poor to useless.
Scanning in color gives 16.4 million (or more) shades for the repair software to work with lost details and shifted colors.

Besides using a color setting and jpg file type, I found I could scan in grayscale and the png file type. On1 opened them fine.

Three minutes in you changed your mind about what to use as a straighten reference and you need to edit the first attempt out as it’s confusing that you do the same thing twice. Great job otherwise!

I quit listening when he couldn’t figure out a person trying to level a photograph could-should look for a true vertical, such as a building doorway, to which to set the guides. Leveling it to some people’s eyes standing together in a group is idiotic.

Hiya Dan,
That was useful. Thank you. I now wish you would do a tutorial on using Silverfast 9, where many of the scan options will not work with On1 products. I end up using Affinity Photo for those images, which is a product I really do not know – yet.
