ABSTRACT
After all, most people have a collection of historical documents stored away in their lofts, or
in a set of rarely-used drawers. Usually contained in boxes, or old suitcases, these collec-
tions are a mixture of photographs, special items and letters. Undoubtedly, before long the
family member with a new interest in digital imaging will inherit the task of restoring such
heirlooms back to their former glory. Suffering from a mixture of scratches, stains and fad-
ing, the images can be improved and repaired with a combination of easy-to-use Elements
techniques. The keepsakes too, can be converted to digital by being photographed, or even
scanned, and together with the restored photos, the complete collection carefully laid out in
an Elements’ multi-page document.
