How to Prepare Restored Photos for a Family Reunion Board
By ImgHeal · Updated
Use a consistent display plan with readable captions and a path back to the sources.
Choose the viewing conditions
Decide how far people will stand from the board and how many images it should contain. Favor a manageable selection with readable names over a dense grid. Keep the original scans separate from the layout files.
Review people and captions
Confirm known identities with relatives and mark uncertain ones. Label colorized or strongly reconstructed images. Use stable identifiers so visitors can submit corrections without needing to describe an ambiguous position on the board.
Proof at display size
Check the crop of each portrait, text contrast, and print quality before producing the whole board. Provide a way to see the original or full-frame image where useful. Keep private family notes out of the public display package.
Check before you finish
- Test captions at expected viewing distance.
- Use identifiers for visitor corrections.
