The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

MordEth,

I think the scans look great!

I really love the coloring that you did on the cabinet. I wish I could do stuff like that but I never got past the crayon stage of life.

Really great work.

Bill, Armyvet

I am going to scan the images i think people will like but if anyone has anything special they think was once sold by H&S just send me a PM saying what you would like.

But there is one problem...I have a hard time posting them because they are normaly too lage for the forum...can some body tell me how to make them smaller?

This is my lattest aquistion. I have other adds, but they are frammed. I need to reshoot them. A copule got my reflection, when I took the picture. Other's were out of focus.

Paul

This is a test to see if i can post a picture at this size through the forum.

Cool it worked! now i just have to scan and crop some more items.

Aaron

here are some more images


Sorry some may seem lopsided...The cataloge is a bit okward to put under my scanner

I think this one came out well.

Here are two very nice scans of two very rare attachments(at least i think very rare)

EDIT: Scratch that i am having trouble with the second picture.All get it up ASAP.

Aaron

Ok i dont know what happened but i fixed it...Here is the second image to go along with the first.

Aaron,

I’m glad to see that the upload feature is now working for you, and thanks for sharing these images. I’ll have to see what I can do with them. The reproducer should be easy to cut out, and while not quite as simple, the other images would be interesting to do, also.

Bill,

Thanks. Actually, though—cutting out the image is a lot harder than coloring them. Basically the Columbia 820 is 3 different colored layers—the wood tone, the gun-metal, and the ‘gold‘ hardware. In Photoshop, this is generally accomplished via Image → Adjustments → Variations... (usually in conjunction with a few other tools under Adjustments to tweak the color). However, you can do it with free software, as well. I have recommended GIMP in other threads, and it is a free image editor that can do a lot of what Photoshop can do.

Here is a tutorial on how to recolor photographs with it. I’ll have to find a good tutorial on how to cut out images with it (or write my own). I plan on including more of these type of tutorials in the Board Tech section as I have time.

Stay tuned for more images, and thanks to everyone who has contributed some of their advertising.
