Photo Details
conradR Junior Member Registered: December 2003 Location: Slupsk, Poland Posts: 2 users gallery	Hi! This was really great challenge. On the beginning i desaturated this photo, next i focused on Henriettas face. I decided that this is most important part of this photo so it should be restored and retouched really carefuly. I've studied facecs from modern photos to get the best palette of colors to use. Then i restored chair details on the left side. Next i've copied the upper left part and pasted it on right side of the chair. Added colors by using separate layers for each major object, using the color blending mode, and painting in the color. Using Overlay blending mode and texture I've got quite natural look of her dress and jacket. If you have any quastion, i'll anserw you. Sorry for my poor english Conrad

Very nice work. The light behind the chair was a nice touch.

Superb Conrad,

The red seat and chair restoration is just great.
And your work on the carpet is as good as it gets.
I especially like the way you've done Henrietta's white top.
