Weird Tales v30n6 (1937-12) Before and After Darwin
Scanners love to share their Before and After galleries. For more valuable or scarce issues, you have to do what you have to do. Photoshop tools have gotten markedly better over the years, but scanners still have all sorts of tricks to make their restorations shine and replace missing font and artwork, often using lower resolution images scavenged from the internet as a background layer to repair with high resolution materials from the beater scan. Sometimes we'll clean up a cover and leave a little bit of grime or edit a magazine meticulously but leave a back cover in rougher shape as an offering to the ravages of time.
