We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Any tips on how to bulk process digitized photos? (alien.top)

I will digitize a couple of thousand pictures for my family and some of them range from 40-50 years ago, which means they are discolored and blurred.

The scanner I have doesn't have a good auto processing software (Canon Imageformula R40), it increases the contrast way too much and doesn't seem to understand that old photos get red with time.

So I was looking at ways to bulk process these images. It doesn't need to be perfect, it just need to improve a little bit. Does anyone has any tip?
