I am a fan of polaroid/retro photoss and enjoy all the old scanned pics.
Part of the charm of these is the old style and look but just now and then I see photos that would benefit from some restoration. Usually it's because the colour has shifted a long way from the original or sometimes because the harsh flash has bleached out some detail.
I have done some restoration and reposting on OCC now and then but I'm cautious about overdoing it. Often it only takes a few minutes but it's worth the trouble for a what is essentially a good photo.
I am happy to try to fix any pics on request but obviously there is no point in excessive duplication.

I'm reposting some from this thread as examples that I think represent worthwhile improvement but I'm open to other views, - are they best left alone?

PM if you don't want to clutter this thread.
BTW, I don't do fakes or uncensoring , just cleaning and adjustments on colour, light and contrast.
I'm aware there is a thread for restored collections as well.

There are a lot of pics posted here that would benefit from some minor work on them before posting. Sometimes it's just something as simple as colors having shifted. I see a lot of what I call 'purples' posted here, yet this is usually a minor fix. I'll provide two 'before and after' examples of how much this fix can improve the look of these 'purples'.

Hope you like this piece of our history. The first naked shot my now wife sent to me!

I think you are wasting your time. Part of the charm of these old pics is the polaroid quality and obvious signs of age. There are plenty of HQ pics here, if that's your thing.

I don't think I am. You are correct about the charm of older pics, but there are some that are so dark as to not even be able to see the subject. Where is the charm in looking at a dark blob - or a purple alien instead of a pretty lady?

I don't believe there is anything wrong with minor corrections to make the subject visible or even less like an alien. I'm not talking about major reconstructive surgery here, just minor adjustments. In both of the examples shown, the only thing done to them was opening them in a photo program and moving one slider bar.
