If you have read my previous post on how to get pictures unstuck that got water damage you'll understand where I'm coming from with this problem. I have spent hours getting 100's of pictures unstuck by soaking them in distilled water as suggested. They did work! I shook them dry and lightly dried most of them with a cool hair dryer on low, as suggested. They looked pretty good, but now that I'm looking at them hours later and they are totally dry some of them have a haze on them.
I am looking for suggestions on how to get this off, if possible? My twin grandson's graduation party is this Friday and I need to get this project checked out by later today to be sure the slide show is going to work right.
I do have a product called Pec-12 an Archival Photographic Emulsion cleaner, not sure if that would do any good or not? Any suggesting's are sure appreciated as I am running out of time. I still have at least a 100 more to scan and then edit some of them, so I'm getting desperate for some help.
If it is an all-over light haze it might be worth slightly increasing the shadow or mid-tone density with the "burn" tool if your photo-editing package has one. That usually works.
@agima Thanks, Brendan. I'll also do a google search, forgot about that. @wordpixman Arthur, yes I do have a shadow feature in iPhoto. I'll see if that helps. The ones that I'm having the most trouble with are the one's that a professional artist took to do a picture of the kids for me and I'm wondering if she used her own lab?
