Picture of my wife restored

[Izzy]

As you can see this picture was the best part of destroyed. It was taken with a Brownie camera back in (you guess). Anyway this was the only picture like it for the day. It had to be saved.



After several hours of clone stamp work I was able to remove the cracks in the gelatin and repair the damaged areas of the picture.

Here is the completed image.



Total working time : approx 8-10 hours

Amazing work Izzy! Even zooming in on this picture I can't see evidence of PS work

I never would've known this was edited. Nice work.

You did a great job.

Thanks to everyone for all the kind comments. The real trick is to have undying patience and do correction one level above actual pixles so you are actually working with things at a "sub pixel" level.

Please, forgive my ignorance, but I would really like to know what it means. How does one work at a "sub pixel" level?

When you are zooming to the "actual pixels" zoom one more time and there you are. I guess I sounded a bit vague and pretentious.

You've been in that Bollocks Generator, haven't you.
