I had just the spots isolated but can’t recall how. I am asking for help on what steps to take to achieve the following again.ġ – At one point I was able to get most of the bright spots isolated and on a separate layer. Also, my memory is shot so I am starting from scratch. A year or so ago I achieved partial success but my notes were one of the things that I could not recover after a hard disk crash. Here is my current thinking as to one approach to darken these areas. When the photo is zoomed in on these areas you can actually see what almost look like bubbles or clumps of silver. Around the top and right side in particular you should see the problem. The example I hope to attach shows the problem quite well. I know there is no hope of recovering detail but if these light areas could be darkened I think it would greatly improve the view. My goal for this post is to ask for ideas on how to darken these light areas so they are less distractive. When scanned these areas mostly appear white and are annoying to look and detract the eye away from what detail remains. When looking at the prints, these areas appear dark but if held at the right angle light will reflect off of them and they appear bright. Of course, these places have lost at least some of the detail that was there. Many of these prints have undergone “silver creep” where the silver particles have migrated through the emulsion. I have scanned all of these but my scans have problems, one major is discussed here with the hope of getting some suggestions. I have no negatives so I am working with nearly 100 year old B&W prints. I have several hundred World War One era photographs I am working with that my grandfather took during his service with the Army Medical Corps.
