So I booked a "renewing of the vows wedding ceremony" next month and my client asked me to restore some of their original film photographs from 1984 negatives she had burried in the box, and me, having very little experience with film (aside from the throw aways my mom used to buy me) took them in and had them put onto a disc. I am now editing each one trying to restore them best I can. I would love to know from you all how I am doing and if I could do this better. So heres the before and afters
Before
After
So these are not my pictures to be clear. To start I reduced the noise in all my shots, then use an unsharp mask to make them a little clearer. In this shot I cropped out some of the distracting objest and replaced the colors to make them more natural and less purple. I use a screen to brighten their faces and clear the rest of the layer to darken the edges of the shot. I also replaced the greens in the picture with more saturated brighter greens using the color replace enhancement.
