From Boxes In Your Garage Or Attic?
Get Peace of Mind By Taking The First—And Most Important Step—Toward Preserving and Displaying Your Heritage Photos!
In this self-paced class, I’ll show you step-by-step how to preserve and breathe new life into your heritage photos by scanning and fixing them.
And just what is a heritage photo? It’s any photo that needs to be scanned. (I’m willing to bet you have some of those!)
Plan & Scan
If you plan to scan your own photos, you’ll appreciate these invaluable videos on how to proceed so you have the best results! (PLUS avoid disappointment and wasted effort by choosing the right resolution.)
Even if you have someone else scan them, planning ahead will save you time and headaches and make your heritage photo project SO much easier!
Lighting & Contrast
Lighting and contrast can be a problem with ANY photo, heritage or digital, but there are definitely problems unique to heritage photos. In this class I cover a variety of remedies, since lighting is not a one-size-fits-all proposition!
By the way, this is one of the few photos of my husband Charlie and me when we were dating. Can you see why I’m so enthusiastic about fixing photos? The original photo is almost unusable!
“Help for Heritage Photos literally saved me! I create DVDs for grieving families to show at funeral viewings, so I don’t have much time to work on the photos. People comment on how good their photos look. It’s a comfort to them at a time when their world is turned upside down.”

Color Correction
Do your photos look a little green around the gills? (Or magenta? Or yellow?) Let the good Doctor prescribe a remedy that will have them looking perky in no time!
