Great introduction to some of the MyHeritage photo capabilities. Also will motivate you to upload your scans to discover their full potential!
If you're interested in analyzing the photo, it would be best not to 'clean it up' or restore it, but to look at it in as close to the original form as possible. I noticed you mentioned you were looking for 'scars or birthmarks,' for example. These would be wiped out my many photo editors if they were faint or mistaken for a blemish on the photo. The cleaned up versions are nice for home decoration or when detail is not important.
Brilliant webinar with lots of great tips to aid in the identification of additional features and people for our tree building and ancestor identification.
I can't believe all the tips Lisa shared about what you can observe in a photo. I would never have thought of it. I thoroughly enjoyed this webinar!
I've been organizing family photos recently and have not yet started to dive deeper into them. This is a great introduction of the types of things I can look for when I am able to study them more closely. Thanks for the information!
Very interesting.
I enjoyed learning where to look for clues in photos where I had not thought of looking before. Thank you for another enjoyable afternoon.
Excellent information and easy to follow. Lots of great usable information. Thank you.
