This Photoshop action will improve the color, contrast and noise level in an old scanned snapshot.
It can’t however bring back detail that isn’t there. The photograph I used for the example photo is an old family snapshot. The original was very washed out, noisy and lacking detail. It was unfortunately scanned in at a very low resolution and I don’t have access to the original.
If you have old prints that you would like to scan and digitally improve, you can scan them at 300 – 600 DPI. This should give you a big enough image to work with. Also, I didn’t add any sharpening to the preset, so you can do the sharpening part yourself after running the action in Photoshop.
