Old Picture Restored

[shawnhopkins]

My family was never one for keeping pictures in anything other than a plastic bag. I found one picture from my childhood that I really liked, but it was pretty mangled. The radio in the background is apparently a foreign hifi that I grew up with so there were some memories there.

Before:



After:



Most of the picture was done using the clone stamp tool. I slid the tool in some parts to reproduce certain textures. I adjust the contrast and colors a bit as well and applied some sharpening. I think the picture took about 5 hours to fix total time over a few days. The picture still needs some work and I'll get back to it eventually. I also cropped out the original border and created a new slightly yellowed one to give the picture that kind of aged look.

You seemed to have the lost the carpet texture lower right corner of image. The hand holding the mug looks strange. Other than those nit-picks, it's a job well done.

Thanks! Yeah I have to go back and fix those things you mentioned.

It will be worth cloning under the girls eyes to reduce the shadow. Clone using the lighten set at 20%

awesome job, I would crop right down to the 2 kids on the floor and focus just on them

Good job with restoring the photo just on the carpet instead of blurry i would copy around it
