Hi everyone I am new to this forum and would appreciate any advice.I have a few questions.
My 1st question is this: When doing color correction how do you know it is right color (midtones show etc..) Does anyone have any tips on knowing when the picture is right? For example I just redid this picture of me when I was a little baby, and the picture was red. I removed the red tint and am not sure when to stop lightening it. I keep changing my mind. Any tips? Thanks!
2nd:I'm retouching these pictures up and when I scan them a paper texture appears. Is there a way to keep this from happening when I scan them? I'm scanning these at 300 dpi and I believe there size is about 4x5 or so. I have looked up in this book by Katrin Eismann how to remove it once it is on the computer by adding a blur to the unimportant areas. So any tips on moving or preventing this kind of texture i would appreciate.

Quest 2
I remember reading some time ago if you take two scans, one right way and one upside down, then put the two photos on two different layers turned one 180 deg and married the two images up, the grain would be eliminated.
I haven't tried this myslf. But I suppose it's worth a try

Q1: "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder". Well that's the classical version. The new one is: "Get your Monitor Profiled" !!!!!!!!
Q2: What's a digital camera? It's a hand-held scanner! Use that to copy your photos and you can shoot in natural light with no shadows. Steady the camera against something if you haven't got a tripod. Just keep shooting until you get one that's OK for you; that's the beauty of using digital cameras, ain't it? The flatbed scanner uses a light to pass over what it's supposed to copy and that's what makes the texture come up too.
