So, I joined to ask this, sorry of it's been dealt with before.
I was helping my mom pack and found some of her old photos so I told her I'd archive them into digital and spiff them up a bit, I've done fairly well with this in the past.
I found some metal prints and figured what the hell, I'll put them on the scanner. Considering how small and dark they are, I was delighted to seem how much detail could be recovered.
So, now I want to make a serious project out of them and would like to improve the initial scans. Specifically, how to get stains off the surface (that resisted a light buffing), and flattening out creases in the metal. I scanned with abut 3'' of books on top, but you can still see where the creases are, don't know if they were still bent or if that's damage.
Sorry I can't tell you much about the prints, it's ferrous metal, some rust in the corners, looks more painted on than etched into the metal. Thanks in advance.
