This provides the greatest amount of data and detail from the original photo. I can then change it to black and white or sepia in Photoshop when all the editing is completed. In addition, I save the original scan as a TIFF file for future editing. I usually scan all my photos in 48 bit color at 600 ppi.

On the other hand its nice to leave them as they are, with that unique character they have.

Do you mean like colorising the photo. I've tried that and you're right it is a lot of fun. But that's another technique for another post. Thanks for the tip Alen.

It might look better if you give it some sepia tones like light oranges, this can make it look more fresh. Something I have always wanted to do that you may enjoy is actually putting the real colours into the photo. Difficult but fun. Nice work.
