I was at a local living history museum today doing some shots for them and one of the gardeners came up and asked me a question
she had a tin type photo of her children taken at a civil war re-enactment several years ago - its been stored in a drawer, but she took it out recently and the image had gone very dark, nearly totally gone. she wanted to know if anything could be done to restore it -
I told her my first thought was that it had not been properly fixed and the image was lost. but, not being a tin type shooter I told her I would ask the question here in case I was wrong and there is a fix.
so - can anything be done for a darkened tin type image to recover it?
Thanks
