How to fix an old picture of my dads one and only elk

[Pazn25]

So i was digging through some old pictures and came across all of my dads elk pictures that he was always sooooo disappointed in because when he got them developed they had a red haze on them all.  Since them my dad has passed away and i have taken over the picture collection.  do any of you know how to fix this problem?

Thank you, this would be amazing if some way these pictures could be cleaned up.  just not sure if its possible since they arent digital images they are actual developed pictures

Have you tried down loading Picasa which is free and touching them up yourself?

If they are still around Pacific Color in Seattle used to do amazing work with our old photos of Duke Savora.  Some were pretty bad and they really made them look like new. There was also a ProLab and Ivey Seright in Seattle that were first class when I was working up there.  Ivey used to work with a lot of magazine photographers including some of the top National Geographic cameramen.  That's been nearly 20 years ago so who knows if they are still around or if they still work with print photos.

I am pretty sure that Moon Photo is still doing that kind of thing if you wanted it converted to B&W.  I've had them do a ton of work over the years.  They used to be my go to place for B&W work.  Great talents and great pricing back when.

Find someone with a scanner for their computer and they can turn it into a digital picture for you and then you can either try messing with some of the photo programs or if you didn't want to tackle it yourself, a shop may be availible that can.

Best part is, once it is scanned on to your hardrive or a disc/thumb drive, you can make as many copies as you like.  Wal-Mart Photo may have that ability on their do it yourself machines.  Grab a cheap thumb drive and you are good to go.

If you can scan them you can email them to me and I will work on them. If you don't have a scanner you could either snail mail them to me or go to Walgreens, Kinko's etc and get them scanned to digital. Or meet me in the Tacoma area some day to drop them off.

If it's a picture rather than negative or slide, it must first be scanned.  Once you get the image digitized, it can be enhanced and restored.

I'd be glad to help you out if I had the photo or a digital copy.

If you get them scanned, I would be glad to take a cut at them too.  You’ll probably end up with very similar outcomes from all of us, but it will be fun to help you out.
