Digitization of thousands of photos + photoshop question

I'm looking at 3 huge boxes of carefully packed photos, probably between 2-3 thousand photos. I had this silly idea that I would like to scan over time. Right.  A few years later and a little more maturity = mental health. I am wanting to analyze these, but am now to be realistic. I turned to this forum for the General opinions of thought. Hope you give me I wasn't really sure where I could ask this kind of question except in the heart of a forum dealing with photos + photoshop.

I hear there are these companies now that I could send in boxes of photos and they analyze them for a hefty price. I did some research. You wanted to see if there are photoshop users who went down a similar path and could offer some advice.

#1 What is the size don't recommend: 300 dpi or 600 dpi. I'm biased towards better quality, but I'm not a rich man.

#2 someone at - it agreements past with companies to offer opinions about the person to choose or not to choose? I tried to find some kind of feedback online on businesses, but have failed so far. Any idea on where to find comments about the companies?

I am open to your comments on anything related to this. I want to go through the pictures once I receive them and clean them in PS of course. Any ideas on how to store, organize, perhaps a few common mistakes to avoid when you install it.

I would appreciate any help certainly you people could offer.

Thank you

Robert

I've been down this road.

In 2007, I have a pair of cases (no boxes, but case with lids and hinges) filled with slides, that my grandparents have taken between the end of the war and when my grandfather started using Polariods instead of his old Kodak, 1974. The final count of all scanned was a little more 13 000 and at the time wherever I eliminated duplicates, it amounts to 8 134. It takes a DVD-R (DL) to hold them all in 1024 X 768 and 300 dpi.

A couple of things I've discovered in the process:

1. have a good scanner makes much difference. I ponied up $ 114 to buy a medium high level Cannon which can scan slides and movies as well as images and documents. He has the ability to scan up to 1440DPI (an odd number, but the INCREDIBLE at this level clarity)...

2. the software issues too. I have found that a combination of changes between PS (CS3) and PSE 6 cleaned and improved some slides that otherwise would have been painful to see.

It is an analysis of the origin:

Edited in PS and PSE, it came out like this:

There are literally hundreds of slides that had turned RED over time, and PS was a measure group to cancel it, but PES has a tint correction 'one touch' which takes the photo to a State much more achievable so PS can improve colors in areas of law.

Certainly, you encounter (I hope) it's as bad as the picture above, but if you have the time, I recommend you scan them yourself. I learned a lot of family history to go through all these slides with my father. Pictures make a lot more sense to me than if I had sent them to a unknown and decided to get a DVD to go.

In addition, there are some pictures that require different parameters out of the way that you would like that. If send you them out, there is no guarantee that they will be scanned as you wish.

I spent almost two months (4 at a time) scanning 13 000 slides, but now that I'm done, I can say it was worth.

    Problem with the visibility of the Organizer in photos: Photoshop elements (PSE) 9

    Hi, I hope this is the right place for this question and the common sense of Scripture. It is my first experience with this forum.

    Problem with Photoshop (PSE 9):

    1. I put pictures in a catalog of PES 9.
    2. For a while, everything was fine.
    3. Now, they seem to be more and more disappearing.
    4. When I click on the folder view:
      1. It is said there is no pictures here. Or
      2. It shows a small only a small proportion of the photos that are there.
    5. When I try to put the photos again, PES 9 says that they are already in the cataloge. (Too bad they can't be seen!)
    6. Photos can be "revealed in Explorer" that is why I know there is incompatibility.
    7. I have: -.
      1. some show all the pictures.
      2. optimized catalog.
      3. repaired the catalog.
      4. No selected tags.

    In any case, hope this gives enough information.

    I saw that other people have had this problem on various forums, but I have not read a response that still works.

    Anyone got any solutions?

  • Adding metadata to thousands of photos?

    1. is there an advantage to adding information of the copyright to the photos in the camera vs do in LR?

    2. how you add copyright info to thousands of photos at the same time?

    Thank you.

    The metadata of the base are stored in exactly in the same place, so in this sense it doesn't matter - and people should do both.

    The only advantage to put the menu in camera is that the images on the card are encoded, so if for some reason, you just send the card to a client (or a person borrows it...), you do not have floating orphan works.

    There are many benefits to the application of metadata, such as:

    • In camera menus are often limited, and they do not support non-English characters or longer strings.
    • You can assign copyright correctly by image (for example if transfer you the copyright under a contract, or have some images you belonged personally and others by your company).
    • You can define the metadata extended IPTC set owner and holders of properly - names, addresses, telephone numbers, links to the EULA, version numbers, etc. This is essential information to legally protect your images in the countries where the "rule of orphan works" applies, as if you include just your name, it is easy for an end user to claim that they can't find you.

    In LR (and all other Adobe applications) metadata setting in bulk is easy - just build a metadata template and apply it to all of your selected images. In LR you can do during the import, the library module or when exporting. The only downside is that metadata models have no internal logic, for example, if you cannot make them look up to the exercise of copyright from his capture.

  • Share easy Kodak and 11 elements and photo editing questions

    I have kodak easyshare on my pc. This is where I store all my photos. Can I use 11 elements without interfereing with my kodak software? I like to transfer my photos from my right digital camera to my kodak softwear. Can I still keep this and only transferred those I want to correct on items 11?. Items 11 to take oily skin of photos and make them look fresh and not greasy?  I like the look glamour shot without everyone having an oily face. Thank you.

    Hi quasarstar,

    When you copy pictures from your camera through any software (Kodak, elements, Lightroom, import Windows operating system, etc.) a physical copy is created on your storage media (whenever you have configured the software to copy photos to).

    When you install Photoshop Elements, you also get Photoshop elements Organizer. Organizing is a virtual library of images and videos that are available on your computer. You can choose which photos are included in the Organizer, choosing the images you want to import. The request of the Organizer, you can view your assets and then modify, improve or change accordingly in Photoshop element Editor (photos) or Premiere Elements (for videos, requires separate purchase).

    To answer your questions:

    • Can I use 11 elements without interfereing with my kodak software? [Ivan David] Yes!
    • Can I still keep this and only transferred those I want to correct on items 11? [Ivan David] Yes, absolutely. Choose and import only the photos you want in Photoshop multimedia elements.
    • Items 11 to take oily skin of photos and make them look fresh and not greasy? [Ivan David] It. I believe, might be possible, but may require some skills. There is no simple way to do this in Photoshop elements 11 again.

    I hope this has helped!

    Kind regards

  • Photos - removal of a photo App question

    I'm about to finally upgrade iPhoto Photos on our mid 2010 MacBook Pro. My intention is to keep a copy of the complete resolution of each photograph on our MacBook Pro by enabling the option 'Download this Mac originals '. I think reading on the Photos all of my photos & videos will be synchronized between my MacBook, iPhone and iPad Pro if I select to use iCloud Photo library functionality and that if I delete a photo on my iPad, for example, it will remove this photo in iCloud and so on all my devices connected. My question is the original photograph display full resolution will also be deleted on the MacBook Pro? Reason for the request is I wish I could use my iPad Pro through my entire photo library and bring order to the top (remove bad photographs, etc.), but if these photographs I remove in iCloud by using my iPad remain on my MacBook Pro so I'll have to do it again on my MacBook Pro... so I would be wasting my time to do using my iPad. Thanks for any advice.

    Finally recommend the Mac OS to Sierra de El Captain upgrade before upgradingto the Photos app?

    Thank you

    Brian

    Yes, I understand form everywhere Deleting removes everything for everyone but I haven't checked it - Léonie done much more work on his iPad and may have checked this

    As for the upgrade - I see no reason to do it in two steps - I just back up and go to Sierra then start leaning Phtops (this is a new program with a learning curve and new workflow - if you think of it like an iPhoto update you will be frustrated because he's not - is a completely new application)

  • Sync settings in bulk for hundreds or thousands of Photos

    I do a lot of time faults, and when I do I have to change the format of the photos until I can put it out first. Sometimes, I have to change the exposure too. When I do the modification to one, I synchronize with all the pictures. The problem I'm having, is that when I do that, since it varies between several hundred and several thousand photos I have to scroll the list of pictures to show him they have been synchronized. They load the settings until I can export. Is there a way I can see the overall progress to edit all, or get sync them without me to scroll all photos to check? Thank you.

    Once you have synchronized the adjustment, you can then export to first. You don't need to wait for the thumbnails to rebuild, because the adjustment is stored in the database and will apply to the export. So just make sure that you have all of the selected pictures when you synchronize, or you can also work in auto sync mode.

  • Flashing photo Photoshop CC 2015

    I used Photoshop for many years so am used to how it works. However, recently I signed up for Adobe Cloud and downloaded Photoshop CC. Everytime I try to edit a photo, the screen flashes and goes even in black and white. It is very difficult to work with the screen flashing because it causes a headache and, if I was sensitive, could start an epileptic seizure. Also, when you try to select carefully aims the screen often becomes empty, making it impossible to finish a complicated task. Done, I can't go on like this and need a fix. My husband also downloaded on his computer and has the same problem.

    Thank you

    Two ideas: GPU de Adobe Camera Raw settings can be problems, uncheck the box here:

    If not, calm setting in the part of your GPU under Edit > Preferences > Performance and restart Photoshop

    Bad comes to worse, uncheck 'use graphics processor '.

  • Moving and sharing photos - catalog questions

    Until recently, all my photos were on a single disc with a Lightroom catalog. Now, there are too many pictures for a single disc, so I split it into two disks and created a new catalog to deal with two different places. Of course, I immediately lost all my ambient light changes. I have a lot of backups, so nothing was really lost now the question:

    How to keep a Lightroom catalog while dividing the pictures into two discs AND keep all my changes, virtual copies, etc.?

    Right now, the restored catalog contains all the changes, but half of the photos are not where the catalogue is expected to make them. What is the way simpler and more secure to do?

    CC of Lightroom, windows 7/64, all software up to date running.

    Thank you

    EdB

    A single catalog, Lightroom can support photos stored on several disks, even the pictures offline. If you want to move pictures from one album to another, you can do the moves within Lightroom. If you choose to make the trip in the operating system, then you can create a link to the photos. In short, it can all be done with a single catalog.

  • Photo - Photoshop CS5 cloning

    I've been using the new photoshop CS5 for about 6 months. I have a grasp on the basics of cloning/healing Inc. the new content aware fill (which is great). I can get good results on simple cloning but on complex things, I really can't.

    I could do with the help if anyone could spare the time.

    I have an image with a pair of sunglasses. We can say that I would install the shoot better to remove the stuff in the objective of the right hand. But I did not. I would like to know some tips on being a realistic touch to the lens. I've tried several things cloning spot patch heal. Even try to make a new lens with color grad. The end result is always the same. Too soft, blurred and artificial looking result.

    Here is the original high resolution with reflection, that I want to delete:

    You mean if you want any magenta part in there?  The same thing...  Paint it gently, gently, with the colors in the surrounding area.  That may be a little harder to make it look natural, but it's possible, I guess.

    But frankly this magenta part of color seems sloppy out there.  Very catchy.  You might want to think twice before trying to make it too empty thinking.

    If magenta is the problem itself, you can try using a brush set to color mode, with which you can change the color but leave the luminance of the reflection in place.

    Another completely different option is to replace the entire contents of the lens with a photo that's been distorted spherical.  Usually an image taken by a wide angle (for example, fisheye) lens would be good to start by, since these lenses are convex.  Where do you think the prospective buyer to imagine that he is?  On the beach?  In the mountains?
