Hello to all.
Just thought I would add another note about photos for Multimedia.
I have made many scans of old photos and have succeeded in what I needed regarding multi person groups. Mostly by cropping in the person view.
A problem with just one small very print of a group taken of my mother's family connection. Twelve people in the group, sibs etc plus parents.
Good because I have few images of some of them at all. All passed on now.
Scanning and improving the quality as I usually do, revealed something strange.
For a while I studied the image on the iMac until I realised why.
Not a lot of detail in the image as it was side lot on a late afternoon, though the faces were clear enough.
My detective work revealed significant abnormalities? My mother has a brooch on her right side lapel. The coat buttoned up wrong. Dad's lapel badge was on the wrong side.
Aha I had it, the print was made in reverse! Seems the home camera's negative was used wrong way up to print. I don't have this negative, but I know from printing many thousands of negatives how it can happen. It can be easy to see if there is a street sign or window sign etc.
Photos of brides and grooms, always show the points mentioned.
We need to be careful too when photos from the 'other half' of the world, show motor cars.😉
Hope this is of interest and maybe helps others in some way.
Regards from a HOT south eastern Australia.
