Does your priceless photo collection contain photos that look a bit too "pink?" There are many ways to handle these items, but never scan them in grayscale mode just to make them black and white again. Grayscale digital files are less cooperative to work with during photo editing than those scanned in color. Scan everything in color mode, even if it makes the pinkish photos look even more ghastly pink as a digital scan file. Scanners are great tools to help us duplicate and share one-of-a-kind photos, but they do have a tendency sometimes to enhance colors you may have to mute a little during the editing process. You have the option during digital editing to fade out the pink, change the color to a sepia (more brownish) tone, or convert it to black and white. Here is a comparison of a pinkish scan converted to black and white.
