Hi mightyqueenc

File size is really far to small to spend any time on it so I have just quickly altered the contrast and sharpened it a bit. If you have a copy at a higher resolution we could probably get a better result but "into the sun" shots can be tricky.

Wowsers! That's terrific, Gerry! Thanks!!
What do you mean higher resolution?
I have the original scan (1641x2297 708 KB) and after saving it (1170x778 441 KB) then I made it smaller to post here.
I'm pretty happy with what you did though...much brighter

Hi again,
The maximum size you can upload here to tsg is 200 kb which is a necessary limit but still leaves enough info for a reasonable looking internet photo. Have a go reducing the size but keeping the end result somewhere between 100/200 kbs. Be aware though that the image you have doesn't look like you will get a real good result because of the sun.

You could go to ImageShack and upload your picture Carolyn.

This is an old photo, date unknown, but by the age of my relative, late 1800's.

The first scan looks a bit darker than it did with the human eye. The surface of the paper was not glossy and I suspect that added to the darkness?
The second is only a gamma correction.

This one is from a scan off an early 35mm "contact print" so not much info to work with.

I probably spent too much time on this one.
So, I'll ask......what's the easiest way to get glare out of a photo?





BTW, the scene thru the windows was unknown
I did know that it was a business setting, so I added some old buildings.
These are cut down images, the brick street shows up nicely in the 'full' size.

Wow now you have really done good. Getting the glare/washed out look out is very hard if it can even be done Stoner so you may of spend a lot of time but I bet it was the only way to do it. Now there may of been a more easy way but still it takes lots of time.
How did you even bring out all you did is just great. Nice effect adding the other building too.

Can you post over at imageshack the bigger versions?

Hey stoner, good job. I was looking at your master piece and my monitor started moving. It took a few seconds to realise we were having a small eartquake. So it wasn't your picture making the earth move.

Everything is fine Hewee. Here is a link to the quake details just over half an hour ago: http://www.geonet.org.nz/latest.html

We live at the top of the south island so only just felt it.
We get quite few of them but they always give you a bit of a rush when they arrive.

Thanks for the link. Glad all is ok and lets hope it stays that was and you don't split the island from a big one.
