When a friend showed me a page from her family history, this stunning photograph (to the left) caught my eye immediately. Turns out she had taken a beautiful original photo of her mother into a local copy store and had several prints made to distribute to family members. This was one of those prints.
I scanned her old photo at 600 dpi so that it could be printed at twice the original's size, as my friend requested. You can see from the image (photo to the right) that making a scan of a photo is a better choice than getting a print from a copy shop. Although there is fairly good equipment available now for making copies, a scan is still the best choice for capturing all the subtle lighting and details in your family's photographs.
