I'm considering upgrading to a newer and more better Epson for this sort of
stuff, but using my Epson 3200, which, unlike Bill's, has no dust or lint under
the glass, I managed to resurrect this shot of my maternal grandmother and her
sister from a 100-year-old cracked and faded 4x5 in. print that survived a fire
in an old desk. I know I can do better, so this isn't the finished product.
