Description: To acquaint the researcher with the process of cleaning up pictures and/or documents whether under the Joint Photographic Experts Group commonly known as a JPEG .jpeg format or the Device Independent Bitmap (DIB) file format known as the BITMAP .bmp formula.

Pictures of people, places or documents have…depending on the resolution, a small to excessive amount of dirt acquired by the copying process. This dirt can manifest itself as particles of dust, blips, lines, erroneous markings, tears, creases, dents and discolorations usually spoiling or defacing the picture, document or drawing.  

This chapter will introduce you to various techniques used to remove these annoying distractions returning the document as close as possible to its original creation. 

In addition, this course addresses the caption issue and instructs the researcher on how to add captions to the picture for identification purposes. Only by adding captions, can we identify the participants in a picture thereby preserving our family heirlooms and treasures for other interested family members.
