Scans are done in gray image
at 900, 2400, 4900 dpi. To my amazement a
couple scans had small
color areas show up. One scan was totally B & W
until
I cropped a section and blew it up, then color areas appeared.
All the scans had the
aspect ratio preserved and when finished were best
viewed at 100%. Scans
were all done in Photo Plus 4. Occasionally I would take a scan into Microsoft
photo editor or Adobe photoshop and do photo adjustments. The photo scans
pictured here are but a tiny section of the originals. On most of these
I haven't a clue how or what steps I took to get the results. I was just
playing around and never expected this.
I haven't a clue
why these scans are showing this stuff or why some have
different colored
backgrounds and some are white. I scanned a regular
photo of me and
the dogs and did the same adjustments to it, but didn't
These images, pictures,
etc. that are comming out on the scans seems to
somehow of been
put onto the rocks in layers. The reason I think this, is
that I have re-scanned
the same areas and I come up with a completely
different
picture. It seems like every time I re-scan the same area I am
peeling off another layer.
Also I am noticing that the different DPI settings
are
bringing out different pictures, images, symbols, etc. Some of the
pictures have what
looks like cylinders in them and the more you adjust
the focus, the more symbols (scrolls?) appear out of the cylinders.

This scan is called standing bear and was done
at 900dpi. Only the legs were scanned. I don't recall exactly which area
of the legs were cropped and scanned to get the picture, # 2.

I have seen one of these designs in another
scan. Take notice of the designs and also note that that this picture has
an accordion look to it. Don't have a clue how this one ended up with depth
and an almost 3-D affect. I do remember that he original large scan had
two white crosses in it, this is where I cropped to get this picture.

This piece of Indian dress (with what looks like blood on it) was found along with a spirit stone and rock carving in the shape of a neolithic bird man. The dress has symbols on it and writing on it that says "good old days". It was machine sewn and was made (probably) between 1895-1920.
