One of my relatives asked me to scan two 4X6 photographs and print copies of them for her. So, I brought them home and scanned each but theyre splotchy, grainy, yeuchy at 300, 600 and even 1200 dpi. I know it isnt my scanner.
Both were shot digitally and processed through the mail at a lab on the west coast somewhere. When viewed straight on they appear to be regular photos but when tilted at an angle, so as to bounce a maximum amount of ambient light off of them and back at myself, shadow areas dont reflect any light at all while midtone and highlight areas sort of do but in a weird way. These guys are really hard to describe. Anyone have a clue what Im talking about and are they scannable?
