Definitely. Some of these pics were not very good, but the scanner picked up what little was there and then I was able to enhance it in PhotoShop. It can even do more. Our 43-year old wedding photos were almost completely ruined. A lousy photographer and crappy lab had done our original wedding book. The pics faded and turned green. I scanned them all on the Epson using the scanning software’s restore function, then further enhanced them in PhotoShop. They came out looking like new. I printed them all and made my wife a new book for her birthday. > I have a number I took in the late '70s (just before I bought my first > Pentax) that have the detail there, but you need to compensate to bring the > detail out.
