Well it's a thinly veiled ad... and you can't really easily get digital copies - which somehow feels weird/wrong for space stuff. You typically can get that in full resolution directly from NASA.<p>Is the web interface representative of the final quality?<p>Just looking at an example: <a href="https://www.apolloremastered.com/shop/p/as15-82-11056-to-11057" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.apolloremastered.com/shop/p/as15-82-11056-to-110...</a><p>Even mildly zoomed in the image looks quite crummy and blurry. Fine for a postcard, but not to hang on you wall<p>It's also a bit weird that some dude manages to somehow get semi-exclusive access to photos made by the US gov't and can then charge hundreds of pounds for them
I believe all of the new scans are available here: <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/albums" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/albums</a>
> Inspected, embossed and hand signed by the artist<p>Wow, they got the Apollo 15 crew to sign these? Awesome! There are some technical / logistical issues with that, but I'm sure they managed to overcome them...<p>Snark aside, I'm not really sure how running restoration on public domain photographs gives you authorship / copyright ownership over them.
I highly recommend this book, which I received as a birthday present (hint, for your friends or loved ones who are into space stuff.)<p>Every page is filled with these georgeous, highly detailed pictures, and a running commentary from the astronauts or author.<p>You won't be disappointed.
> Inspected, embossed and hand signed by the artist<p>What? Since when is a film developer an artist?<p>If he would've taken the photos himself and then did the post-processing... fine. But not like this.<p>I'm reading this page: <a href="https://www.apolloremastered.com/shop/p/s65-30427" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.apolloremastered.com/shop/p/s65-30427</a> and it doesn't even mention the original photographer.
Following the links throughout the thread, I've not seen a description of how the remastering process worked.<p>>The scans of this original flight film have been digitally remastered in a lossless format and then converted to laser / LED light<p>"Lossless encoding" is a red herring if you are looking for fidelity to ground truth, see:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22802909">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22802909</a><p>amongst others
