would be nice to see detailed write ups or videos on the different aspects of the process.

It's more geared towards photoshop but the same basic ideas apply across all software.

Bear78,

Segamer sent me the link to his youtube videos awhile back gleaned useful info.

Replicating fonts is just one area that is difficult for me. Awhile back on the forum, I read that someone was extracting each letter from the scan then replicating the letters/words to use in rebuilding the text. Looking for the posting had a couple questions for the person.

The font can be tricky for sure.  I usually try and "save" the original text when the scan is clean enough and use some tricks to make it looks a bit sharper when I can.  If I have to rewrite the text, then I use sites like https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ to try and match the font as best I can.  I can usually find a font that's really close to the original to use.  As for downloading them, you might have to look in a couple shady areas to find "free" downloads.
