Venizelos · Moderator

Thank you very much Adam

It is curious that new images of the set continue to appear, which seem to be from the same magazine. confuse confuse confuse confuse

Also that this complete image with Hakan has never appeared

Many thanks, Adam.

Nice job! Your merged version of 026/027 is also a vast improvement on the two separate photos in the catalogue.

Would you be able to share the original source scans for 046-049 and the new double-page version of 023? That would be much appreciated.

I referred original scans in the beginning of my post. http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/t4140-p123-silvia-saint-sylvia-saint-cze.html

Pic 49 is a vignet from magazine's editorial (page 2) you can find here : http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...53#post6693653

Apologies. I failed to notice the link in your initial post. Too distracted by the enhanced photos, I guess. biggrin

Thanks again.

Edit: Actually, now that I've followed the link, I find one of the photos is no longer available on ImageBam: cry

Did anyone manage to download the scan for this photo?

To answer Venizelos question about these new pictures, it appears we have for years, only 1 version of these magazine scans, from Magmascans... and guy who made these scans filled the band of texts with small adds : here are our new pictures

Good detective work, Adam.

I'll take a look at blending out the text from some of these photos. It would be nice to have clean versions of them.

Thanks, Lew. That link worked nicely. It looks like the link in the VEF post is corrupt (it still doesn't work for me)

Hello Spike,
the link in Silvia Saint's thread is dead but original post here vintage-erotica-forum.com/showthread.php is still active
And I remember I posted these front/back covers not so long ago here : https://saint-archives.activeboard.com/t28677653/the-catalogs-fanatics/?ts=1630926931&page=82&sort=oldestFirst&direction=prev
I'm very happy we found these good quality scans, and I wait impatiently your results with cleaning text. I admit your the best for this job

I have had a go at removing the inset text and banners from some of the original scans from disco45 on VEF (thanks!), as well as fixing the centrefold photo, which was sufferring from some discolouration and compression around the fold. I've also attempted to blend out some of the worst of the banding apparent on Silvia's skin in these photos, and fixed the mirroring of the photos on the back cover (025) and contents page (026).

Note that the cover photo (001) is a slightly wider but shorter version of page 5 of the photoset (006), so I've merged them together to cover both.

I've not done the second half of the double-page photo on pages 1 and 2, as the cost/benefit ratio of effectively reinstating a photo of Hakan is prohibitively enormous! I'm happy just with the cleaned-up photo of Silvia on the first page.

Anyway, here are the results.

Before	After

001/006	001

002	002

009	009

010	010

014	014

015	015

019	019

022	022

025	025

026	026
