Didnt find a category for this: Old photograph from the 70's when the processing turned everything orange. What color matt and/or frame woulld work with a predominatley orange-y/red picture of a 2 year old boy. Its the only one I have. Is there a way to color correct this disaster? Thanks in advance!

If you have a photo shop in your town you can take it there and sometimes they can "repair" the picture. They can take the yellow out and bring the original color out more. We had an old photo repaired and i think it cost about $15 ... so not too bad.
Barring that i'd go with a black frame and a brown shade for the matting, it will bring out the age of the photo by making it look like you wanted it that way and then your focus will be on the picture not on the discoloration of it.
Good luck.

Yes!!!! Go to your local walgreens, and scan it into the kodak picture maker, OR use the other scanners they have. There is the option of going "sepia", which is kinda what you have, only it will look more natural. (or just go black and white)
They can also do photo restorations for I think 40 bucks a pop. They can fix the rips and the smudges, and the coloring, etc.

have you tried taking it to an one hour photo place? Or a photography studio? I think they can retake it and take out the color-correct it. and as far as a frame/matte? i would use beige, or an off-white, or a really soft tan.

outside of the photo software you can have in your computer, you can scan it in and correct the photo to make it look like you just took it. if your good enough with the software program to understand it all. there are plenty of good phoro restoration shops around that can restore the oldest of photo's even in black and white. i had many done that a shop under photography in the yellow pages restored blurred 1920's photo's for a restoration project. they cleared them up and looked perfect and wewre very resonable on their prices.

scan it and email it to me and i will color correct it for you and then you can print it on photo quality paper (or shave someone do it how has the equipment), once in a frame you will never know its was not a real photo. send me a yahoo answers "contact" and I will send the email address.

if you go to a real photo shop they can help you
i believe they make a negative of your old photo
and make new ones from it, my mother had several
old, old family photos that were in bad shape, they
came out wonderful
