2. On a separate layer, cloned out spots on the face, uniform, and picture frame.
3. Merged layers and used a blending mode of soft light to bring more contrast to face.
4. Smoothed out selected areas of the face with a gaussian blur and painting in a "reveal all" layer

Looks really good. I like the detail in the ears - and the texture of the hat band looks just right.

Thanks Mark, I think you did a very good job as well. This restoration was not as easy as it looked.

Excellent Restoration. I thought it was tough too. Incidentally the original is not copyrighted in any way and all can use the photo as they see fit.

That's one sharp looking cadet. He'd pass muster for sure. Fine, fine work!

Thanks Doug, this one was a real struggle, as I'm sure you know.
Too bad the cadet passed away so young.
