Roger’s Ramblings
by Roger Moffat – much more than just another WordPress weblog…
This blog will grow in 2 directions - hopefully I'll keep it up going forward, but I also want to try and make some historical posts, as if I did have a blog in the past. So posts will show up as new for a while... Then I'll change the date to reflect when it would have been posted so it's chronological.

Yet Another Olde Photo
Posted on January 18th, 2010 No commentsThis one is perhaps the most difficult one so far. It starts out as a tiny 2 ½ x 3 ¼ print, so there’s not a lot to work with getting started…
Before and After showing progess of Restoration
Still quite a bit of work to do yet on this one.

Another Olde Photo
Posted on December 22nd, 2009 No commentsThis one took a LOT of work. Not helped by a very inopportune Photoshop crash
A lot of work with Adobe Photoshop CS4 to get the left version to the right version – all from an original that is 3 ¼ x 2 ½ inches.

Fixing Olde Photographs
Posted on December 16th, 2009 No commentsHere are a couple of before and after shots of some olde photos I’ve fixed up for a friend.

After scanning the photos it was lots of time with the tools available in Photoshop to Clone, Heal and Patch the damage. The second photo had been torn nearly through and then “fixed” with sellotape at some stage in the long ago past – what a mess!!! It kind of reminded me of watching the curators work on the Dead Sea Scrolls some years ago when we saw them at the Field Museum in Chicago – gently scraping away the decades olde tape that had been put on them.
