This 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.
This one took a LOT of work. Not helped by a very inopportune Photoshop crash 🙁
Before and After of Olde Photo
Here 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.
