Old pictures are a wonderful source of material for any Soft Scrap®.  They bring back memories and highlight your heritage and family history.  The clothes, the setting, the accessories all add their own charm.  As you explore old pictures with your photo editing software, you will discover fascinating images hidden in time.  Uncovering those memories and creating projects featuring those treasures opens up new possibilities for Soft Scrap®.

However, most old photos, because of their age, need some enhancement to achieve the best quality transfer.  By carefully using photo editing software like Photoshop® or Photoshop Elements®, you can get a finished product that looks significantly better than your original print, even if the original pictures are aged, discolored, scratched, torn, or blemished..

This Techniques Booklet will give you a step-by-step process for taking old pictures, transferring them to your computer, using photo-editing software to improve the quality, toning them (sepia tone is the most popular) and then printing the photos onto inkjet printable fabric.  We’ll also explore some of the unique results from full colorization.
