FREE Restoration Session: Hayward Library, 888 C Street. Hayward, March 15, 11AM – 12PM
Preserve your family’s cherished memories in this comprehensive lecture and hands-on workshop focused on scanning and restoring old photos. Learn best practices for efficiently scanning your photos using an automated scanner provided during the workshop. We will then engage in a photo restoration session, where you’ll learn techniques to remove creases, tears, and dust spots, as well as enhance contrast to restore your photos’ luster.
Please bring a laptop with three scanned photos loaded that you wish to restore. If you do not have scanned photos, we will scan them at the seminar—bring a flash drive to transfer the images to your laptop. Laptops may be available for checkout on a “first come, first served” basis with a Hayward Library card.
