Scanning and Editing Photos Digitally

Deirdre Gleason, instructor

Using digital editing software, we will scan and then repair and restore your old photos that have been damaged. We will learn to remove scratches, repair tears, remove stains and discoloration and improve contrast and color balance. Basic computer skills are required. You will complete work on the image files in class and save your work to flash memory drives to be printed at a local service bureau. This allows you maximum flexibility in the final image size at the lowest cost. A $15 deposit is required for the use of the memory drive and will be returned when the drive is turned back in.
