I would be grateful for guidance on this topic
(details of which are covered in the archives I know).
Among my 30+ years of family snaps are some
that I see as potential 3-colour gum pictures, about A4 size or maybe slightly
bigger. Many of the surviving 6 x 4 prints are tatty and faded (and
some have been re-worked in what appears to be an expressionist manner
with felt pens, scissors, etc). Most of the 35mm negatives are pretty
good.
Would anyone in the group like to recommend
whether I should produce the necessary negatives:
1. Taking the best negatives to
be scanned by a photo processor - I have been quoted a
resolution of 1200 dpi - and use Photoshop to make colour separations,
or
2. Get some more 6 x 4 prints
made by a photo processor and scan them myself at something like 400 dpi, and
then use Photoshop, or
3. Make colour separations myself
on document film using a slide copier and filters, and enlarge them on to lith
film.
Thanks
Don Sweet
