Scan it in color, then choose the blue channel (ctrl-3) to look at the
image. Yellowed or faded b/w images render much better under blue
light, to which yellow looks dark.

If you like it, Edit/Mode/Greyscale will convert the image to mono . If
you want to tone the image, say sepia, use Edit/Mode/RGB to turn the
image into color mode - it will still look grey - and then you can color
it or whatever you want.

Ctrl-1 = red channel, ctrl-2 = green channel, ctrl-3 = blue channel, and
ctrl-~ = full color.
