The last great gathering of B17s. If I remember correctly, there were 8 fortresses.

The clarity / sharpness problem you mention is probably due to the scanner, particularly if scanned from transparencies.
If these were in slide mounts, card or plastic, or glass mounts, the scanner should have an adjustment to allow for the difference in "thickness".

My guess is operator error. They were photos, I will figure it out.

Thought I would share some interesting photos from 2005. Any thoughts about why the photos look out of focus when the originals are clear?

If I remember correctly, this one is a Pearl Harbor survivor.

Ah, if colour prints, then it' s most likely an exposure problem, or perhaps not in full contact with the scanner bed.
( put a weight, such as book, on the closed scanner lid.)
The majority of flat-bed scanners do not have an exposure control as such. I have two scanners, a separate Cannon scanner, which gives great results, and a Cannon printer/scanner, which always tends to be overexposed when scanning colour prints.
Sharpness, saturation and contrast can, however, be adjusted quite easily using Irfanview.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Everything in the AvPix unlimited thread was scanned with my crappy HP printer scanner, clean up with Photoshop. No image manipulation other than image size to fit forum needs.

Good shots!

Good selection of pics.

I was going through emails from 2009 and found these birds.

Now something a little more modern.
