I'm finally getting around to working on our honeymoon scrapbook. We had a water camera and the pictures on it came out terrible! I was wondering if anyone would be nice enough to take a look at some of them and see if there's anything that can be done to make them look better? I'll post them here and then send you the files if you want to give it a shot.
PS - sorry they're so big! I don't want to resize them because I'll lose the quality (I'm going to wind up cropping/shrinking most of them)

It's not too hard to darken it, but it will get fairly blocky... is this the highest resolution you have them in? Was it a cell phone cam or disposable waterproof cam or something?

Waterproof camera. Yes that's the best I got. I could try to find the disc we got the camera printed to, but I uploaded them straight to Photobucket so there wouldn't be any difference I don't think.
If you darkened them and they became "blocky" would my shrinking them down help or hurt? I guess water got inside the camera or something. The day was not at all hazy like all of the pictures seem to imply... -------------------- Forget regret

Well photobucket might have auto-sized them down, see if you can snag them off the actual CD.

here's a sample of a darkened one:
 I'm fairly rudimentary as far as photoshop goes though so someone else could probably do better. |

Ok got the Cd. Do you want me to send them to your email or put them somewhere?

I don't see them getting much better. Darkening them will only do so much. They are still pretty good pics, though. I was expecting worse when reading your post (I have images turned off so I have to click to view).

Actually, the one that Chuck darkened looks way better when I shrink it to 50%
 And I know I won't get perfection, it's just the ones I put here are the best off that stupid camera and as they are I wouldn't have wanted to put them in our scrapbook....In hindsight, we should have spent the $$$ and bought the ones they took with a good camera... -------------------- Forget regret

QUOTE (kcroxyoursox @ Jun 8 2008, 02:53 PM)  Actually, the one that Chuck darkened looks way better when I shrink it to 50% Oh I didn't know there were more that turned out worse... that makes sense then.
