Unfortunately, I threw away the negatives to all black and white photographs I took in the sixties. I found a few 8x10 enlargements and scanned these into photoshop, using a Hewlett Packard Scanjet 6200C at a resolution of 300 dpi.

In Photoshop I removed some of the scratches and then used a "duo-tone" process which adds a warm brown tone to the photos. The 8x10 enlargements produced rather large files. As you probably know, it takes a long time to "load" graphic files, especially if one has a slow modem.

To make the files as small as possible, I scaled down the 300 dpi resolution to 72 dpi and reduced the size down to approximately 350 x 300 pixels. Another thing I had to do was to change the duo-tone file back to a RGB color file and then save the files as JPEG files. JPEG (or JPG) files are most often used to display photographs on the web. At any rate, going through all these processes, I managed to reduce 1,200,000k files to approximately 300k files.
