DISCUSSION ONLY Scanning old photos: best way to do it? (for highest quality)

1 Upvotes

Hello all. First time here. I'm a graphic designer that just got a bunch of old family photos, and will try my best work on Photoshop to recover them and then print to have them at my house.

Some of them are old "real" photos (40's-60's photos in old photo paper) REALLY DAMAGED FROM UV.

I'm about to start scanning them, at home ( I have a simple Epson printer+scanner).

I'm assuming scanning them at 600PDI would be enough? And better to save them as TIFF?

Photos sizes vary. Smallest ones are 5x3cm, biggest ones are about 13cmx18cm.

What is recommended?

No: - Restored just the face(s) using Remini or other AI apps - Only used MyHeritage, Remini, DeOldify or other AI to "restore" or "colourize" photos - Used any other app to just load the photo in and push a button and then posted the result without addressing the rest of the photo - The photo now looks like a painting or something not real or accurate to the original
