Uploaded a bunch of new ads.

Video Game Ads Folder

So far in the folder there are ads for

(Genesis) Shining Force 2
(Genesis) Eternal Champions (originally a 2 page ad...but first page didn't interest me enough to scan in)
(Genesis) Sonic & Knuckles

(SNES) Final Fantasy 3 (2 page ad)

(PS2) Final Fantasy X

(Saturn) Shining Wisdom
(Saturn) Dragon Force
(Saturn) Albert Odyssey

NeoGeo Pocket Color Ad 1
NeoGeo Pocket Color Ad 2 (water damage :( )

Final Fantasy 3 was one of my favorite ads but unfortunately the magazine it was in had some water damage from a flooded basement :( It doesn't seem too bad to fix but when it comes to photo editing I'm not exactly skillful. If someone can be so kind as to clean it up a bit I'd be grateful :)

I actually have a few posters that I've collected over the years and in the future I'm going to invest in a poster scanner to preserve them digitally and fix a few that are damaged by the sun over the years.

My question is how would I go about doing that, fixing sun damage in something like Photoshop? Also, how about fold lines, how would one take those out so that when I create a reproduction for myself they won't show up on the print?

yep in photoshop you can cover the fold lines actually the poster i posted before was very very folded.

Wow, it's really night and day when it comes to the restoration, I love when Colours pop from increased contrast and RGB values :D

Any tips on what tools to use in Photoshop? Also did you use a regular scanner or a dedicated large format scanner?

actually i got a normal size scanner, i ve just folded the poster then i scanned it in parts. and in photoshop well you have to watch some tutorials online if you practice enough you can do a lot of things in a short time.

Question...I have a map/poster that I would love to see restored but what would be the best way to put it up here?

I'll have to scan it in parts since the map is bigger then my scanner bed but does it matter if the colors on some scans don't exactly match other scans?

I'd also post it up in pieces for whoever decides to take the task on so that wouldn't be an issue either right?

sadikyo:
^^^ The different pieces wouldn't be a problem. If you put something heavy on top of the poster, it will flatten it out for the best possible scan.

What do you mean by different colors for the different scans? Do you mean just slightly off colors because it wasn't scanned all at once? Obviously an entire scan is going to be the best, but if all we can get is a collection of partial scans, it is at least better than nothing. You could always post up what you can and we can see about post-processing.

Also -- make sure that as you scan the different sections that there is a little bit of overlap. What I mean is - let's say the poster is folded into fourths. You could scan each quadrant exactly, but the best thing to do would be to scan, let's say, the upper left quadrant plus a little bit of the other quadrants around the perimeter of it. This will make connecting the pieces much easier / better.
