oh man .. the kids are almost all framed by the creases .. is there any way of still incorporating or adding more of those and keeping the cool sepia? I see the great work you've done on the other damage, but wow would I want the age in a re-do for my family wall . just my opinion .. Ian

Default A Quick Fix

Here's a quick fix to correct the folding which marred the photograph. The next level would be either to convert to black and white or to color the photograph. The original contrast of the photograph makes these a little more difficult, but not impossible.
