Greetings
I am trying to ‘restore’ – ie remake, some hand coloured prints from 1812 which have been less than carefully looked after.
These are a charity freebe like near all my stuff.
By and large I have managed to remove the near two decades of discoloration and fading, so that I have some quite strong colours, outlines etc against a white background rather than the deep mustard of the originals. This whist not re colouring or doing anything but using the levels, curves sort of things.
Now I have to try and remove the acid browns of near 2 hundred years of sweaty fingers.
Has anyone of this mystical band any ideas of how to do this easily, quickly or in bulk, or do I just have to hunker down for hours with the stamp?
TIA
