Sadly, you are absolutely correct about the deterioration. In fact, most folks would be surprised to see the rather poor condition of Del’s original slides. Please keep in mind that they are about 55 years old. Although they’ve spent their lives carefully stored in air-conditioned comfort, their age is definitely showing. Slide restoration brings up the whole topic of how much “Photoshop” is reasonable. Steve Host and I have shared some friendly emails on this topic. I’ll address it in more detail in the caption section of an upcoming Rosamond posting.
