Is there a way to improve a photocopied picture?

Hi,
I would appreciate some help here.
Is there a simple way to improve the look of photocopies of family pictures? Scanning did't happen and now I don't have possesion of the family album. I have started to scan in the photocopies and they look Ok, but I wondered if there was a program or something easy and inexpensive to improve the look of them at this point. If not, then they will be alright. But if there is a solution out there, please let me know.
Thank you for your help.

If you're planning a DVD slide show, the good news is that TV is pretty low resolution and you can get away with images that look terrible if they were printed. Some options:
- whoever has the album, have them take pictures of the photos with a digital camera (strong light, but no glare; don't use the flash; lens parallel to the print, fill the frame).
- smaller pictures hide defects, so put a border around the photo copies with a program like Photoshop Elements (I like it a lot, but it can take some learning).
- make the pictures artsy and hide defects (color shifts; high contrast, copy sections of the photos and make a collage against a black background...).

    Hi Ben,
    both BSIS selects would become faster if you can add Company Code BUKRS as 1st field of WHERE clause, because it's the 1st field of primary key and HKONT is the 2nd field of primary key.
    If you have no table index with HKONT as 1st field it's a full database access.
    If possible, try to add BUKRS as 1st field of WHERE clause, otherwise ask for an additional BSIS index at your basis team.

  • Is there a way to improve the performance of a report group?

    Hi gurus,
    Is there a way to improve the performance of a report group? 
    Points will be given later....
    Thanks!

    Hi there,
    Thank you for your response. I thought there's no answer for this issue and planning to change it to ALV.
    I looked at the codes and debugged it. After the select statement from ZZUWT table (customized), there's a loop that takes much time (10-12mins) for 1000 records. and several nested perform routines. It's a standard program so I'm hesitant to edit it.
    I'll be checking on the primary keys. If it's ok, may I ask for your assistance in this part? Though I'm not that familiar and haven't tried creating a report painter before.
    Thanks anyway...:D

  • HT201822 Is there a way to improve Apple's default "ignore accidental trackpad input" function?

    Why the transmition to the tv from my iPad is slow cutting off ... Is there a way to improve connectivity ?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

    Hi Smokey0422,
    Although iTunes works with Windows XP, iCloud is not supported - so that does limit the functionality somewhat.
    See the resources for your iPad at the following site:

  • Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

    Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
    For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
    I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
    In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

    The short answer is yes.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    Open Image Capture application.
    Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
    Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

    I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album), in either of these apps???? They claim to be able to "Organize"  or "arrange" Photos, but for the life of me I can't figure out how......could you recommend any apps that actually allow someone to move individual photos around on an IOS Device.

    No, reordering within folders and albums is not supported. the yare arranged automatically by date. I found this, but I have not used any of the apps besides iPhone. You might check the descriptions to see if they do what you need.

  • Is there a way to hide buddy icon/picture in messages? [In the left section that lists all chats]

    Is there a way to hide buddy avatars/pictures from Messages?  I don't mean in a the chat window, but in the left section that lists all active conversations.  I don't really use pictures with contacts, so all I see are gray faces.
    Using Messages 8.0 on Mavericks.

    Hi,
    The answer is No.
    Whilst the App can also use Buddy list (See Window Menu) for accounts which use AIM, Jabber or Yahoo an important part of these is the Buddy Pic.
    By default Messages in the iMessages account will send the My Card pic from the Contacts app for yourself.
    (if you have Buddy Lists  and change the pic for them, then it will send that pic)
    Also if you drag the side bar in the Chat (main Messages window) to it's smallest setting (move the divider to the left) you are left with just the Sender's pic (or lack of it) in  square spot that has no version of the last iMessages sent.

    My itouch screen froze showing "plug to itunes" after trying to update to iOS6. It still can be turned on and off. But the screen froze showing that message. I perhaps need to restore it. But is there any ways to export all the pictures from it before restoring?

    Only if y can get the iPod out of recovery mode with the program. Otherwise you will have to restore via iTunes which erases the iPod.

    What randers4 said. HOWEVER, if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the iPhone what you recover will not be as high a resolution as the originals.

    If you have a backup of your computer, here's the location of the iTunes backup folder:
    Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

  • Is there a way to improve the sign in experience so that users don't have to specify both address and username?

    I've wondered this for a long time-is there a way to set up Lync so that I can have users sign in with just the sign in address, and not have to specify the username as well? Things tend to go like this:
    User launches lync client-types sign in address and password (in this case [email protected])
    Sign in will fail, and now they'll need to specify the username (in this case CTT1\user) and retype their password
    Now sign in succeeds (and it'll remember credentials)
    Is there a way to fix things in DNS so that step 2 isn't required?  It's a pain for the out of the box experience for new users, and the fact that the login has to fail to be able to specify the username in the first place is a little counterintuitive.
    Is there a record we can create so that the domain name (in this case CTT1) is inferred from the SIP domain? 

    Well if you want a "single signon" experience, the Workstation will need to de join to the domain :-)  otherwise it will prompt for the Username and password for authentificaiton.
    You can then check the save password box.
    For remote user that are NOT on the domain, same behavior, you will be prompted to enter Username/Password.
