Про технику ретуши | On old pictures restoration
Коллегам на заметку: светодиодный световой столик, положенный на планшетный сканер поверх листовой плёнки или фотопластинки, прекрасно заменяет листовой слайд-сканер соответствующего формата. Особенно для чёрно-белых негативов. При должной аккуратности оригинал не страдает, с кольцами Ньютона проблем тоже нет. Куда дешевле Имакона или барабанного сканера, а качество (с учётом качества оригиналов) вполне достойное.
NB, dear colleagues: if you encounter sheet film or glass-plate transparency you need to scan for further retouch, you can nicely get away with an LED viewing table of respective size, if you put it on flatbed scanner's glass on top of your original. With obvious precautions you won't damage film/plate and Newton rings aren't an issue. Works especially good with B&W originals. That's aeon times cheaper than Imacon or drum scanner, and, considering technical quality of old photographs, you'll have very decent results.
