Straightening of multiple images

Postby lufty on Tue Oct 06, 2009 11:35 am

Hi,
For christmas for the folks I've gone through and scanned their old photos from the 70's/80's and wanted to give them some kind of photobook etc as well as all the images on a disk. I have 2 problems I was hoping for help with. Firstly because the images are quite old they've got a fair few blemishes which could easily be fixed with clone and stamp, but becuase I have over a thousand to go through, am quite hesitant to get going with that. Secondly many did not scan straight and subsequently need to be rotated 5-10 degrees or so. Again, I can do this no probs for a few, but not for that many. Does anyone know a way to automate this or something that could help me???

hi,
i don't know for sure...

on the rotating... i think creating a action and then use your batch processing might work... especially if the amount of rotation is appx the same .... other wise you need to pause at each image to put in the amount to correct...
here a couple of links

on the blemishes.... mmm.... again a action.... if it very minor (specks and scratches, etc) ... you can automate your scratch removal /noise removal to clean them up a little but if it heavy duty where cloning is needed... i don't think so it one by one...

now i don't work with action very much and very little expereience using the automated batch.... but that in your help ....

note a tip on scanning.. a little late i know.. but when i am doing a lot of scanning... i'll make a little template holder to make sure i don't have to worry about if the photograph is straight or not.... saves me a lot of time and heart burns..

well i hope it a little bit helpful good luck
