OK I played with the one John Coyle did and reversed it to the correct
orientation, worked on getting the aqua which gave the shirts they were
all wearing
a bit more believable a color.. but working with a print screen low res
image I couldn't do much ..
I work kinda free hand don't record every tweak.. just go back and
forth until I see what I guessed would be closest to the original color.

My scanner is an epson 4990. I guess I need to figure out how to
get a
better scan first! I did try to use some of the "advanced" features,
but obviously too low rez.

Hi Gonz - from your low-res Flickr image, I used the following
process in PS:
Auto Tone
Auto Colour
Auto Contrast
Image Adjustments:
Brightness reduced
Contrast +10%
Shadows/Highlights:
Mid-Tones +15%
And then resized it to 300dpi
The result is at

not brilliant, but perhaps it would work better on a decent scan.

Subject: How do I correct an old image like this?
Scanned an old negative. Played around with the usual knobs, but
cant seem to get it to look decent. There is not
enough dynamic range here it seems. I've seen articles somewhere
where they make old photos like this pop out almost to
new. How does this work?
