Here
is a photograph that I took in 1967 that originally was on the cover of my college's Fine
Arts
magazine.
The
photograph was also used in the college yearbook on Page 13 {I
disliked the way their Layout Editor cropped the image}:
then
it was used for a couple of years later in the course bulletins on
Page 5:
Of
course back in 1967 we had pretty primitive darkroom facilities tucked
away in the basement of a building with terrible ventilation, so dust
particles on the negatives was always a big problem!
Years
later when photograph became all digital, I converted the image from
analog to digital taking a relatively pristine copy of an original print and scanning it into a digital .jpg file at 1200 DPI. I then used GIMP
to
retouch the photograph to remove all those dust spots that kept
getting on the negative in that old darkroom. The resulting
photograph then looked like the following:
Since the original use for the photograph was for the cover of the college's Fine Arts magazine, I then dabbled with the photograph to make it more artsy by again using GIMP to add some color to an original monochrome Black & White photograph resulting in the following image:
So,
this is the final result of retouching a photograph that was had taken
in 1967 in the analog age and then using digital procedure to
enhance the image to what it could of possibly appeared as all those years
ago if I was a more accomplished photographer back then!
