Thanks for posting these! Are you taking pictures of them yourself? Would be nice to get them a bit higher resolution, many of them make for interesting wallpapers to look at.
Considering that these are – only the size of playing cards, I think? – then the chances of getting them wallpaper-size even with a really good scan seems like a tough proposition.
What you might try is combining a good scan with upscale tools, like http://waifu2x.udp.jp and BigJpg.com, etc.
Sometimes you’ll get just a “meh” result, but oftentimes the AI does a really impressive job expanding the lines and artwork of an image with very natural-looking results. Oh, and they’re also great for removing small graphic artifacts.
Good thoughts all around I think. I have been working with AI so I guess you’d need some specific pipeline to do that? Maybe, I don’t know :-) The prints are, close up, those color blobs coming from how printing was done back then, and IDK how it could be made into more vectorial drawings, which I’d guess would be needed to make good large magnifications if you want to look at it closely.
That said, I didn’t push my scanner to the highest levels but I got around 3000x4000 pixels-ish scans, maybe it can be good enough. I tried higher but you just see the color blobs better.
I’ll post some of them somewhere (switched from windows to linux recently so simple boring stuff like ftp clients and passwords are getting in the way of everything :-)
Cheers !

Oh right, the CYMK (cyan, yellow, magenta, black) “blobs.” That process is still used in some publications I believe, like newspaper comics.

Something like this might work. We could try that, and or the other two tools I posted above.
I’ll post some of them somewhere.
Sounds good.
Let me know svp, and I’ll help test out.
Ciao!
Hey thanks! I have a good scanner and high rez versions but Lemmy doesnt allow bigger than IIRC 2MB images (I have tried to change diverse configs in my docker/pictrs setup to no avail).
Any specific you’re interested in ? I can try to post a small image and change it manually to a better one.
Thanks for the offer! I’ll have a look at what you posted and come back to you with a few requests then. But, no stress, take your time with that.
Pleade do, and I’ll try to comply when I can!
Edit: my should be snappy server has a hard time nowadays with simple things, hence the multiple posts.
I looked a bit through what was posted so far and I liked these the most:

Thanks again!
I’ll try to do that this weekend.
Woah, nice! Looks great, thank you so much!
No problemo :-)
Please do tell what you think, I can bump up the resolution but the images becomes close to a GB :-) and probably only the original printing ‘artifacts’ will be seen.

You can use a host like imgur to post larger images on lemm.ee by using
