Removed the large scratch and some stints using the repair tool. Created a new layer in coloring mode and painted in black above it to remove most of the the green color on white background. separated the cake on different layer, cleaned the desk using the clone stamp. Gave the desk a light color stitch into cyan, positioned the cake. Cloned his jacket to fill the gap, made a foto of one of my ties, colored it and pasted it into place. The thing I really dont like is the remaining green shade on the bride, but I couldn't yet find a good way to fix it.

Hi Marc, nice overall job, however the cake is lit totally wrong for the table. Perhaps if you added a highlight to the table cloth, or darkened the cake, or a combination of both it would sit into the image better.

Hi Gary, thanks for the hint... you're right, should re-balance it.
The cake is already darkened by multiplying, but that does not seem to be enough.

I think this is a great tip. The tie seems to stamped. But I agree about the cake.

Perhaps I should blur the tie even more... because it isn't stamped, it just looks this way

Try desaturating the tie a little, and darkening slightly, and it should be ok. If you've kept this on a seperate layer it should not be too difficult.

Good work Marc,

This is a tough restoration.
As to removing dis-colored areas like that on the dress.
My quick no nonsense way is just Select - De-saturate and recolor.
That badly blown out cake is murder. My cake is still in the oven.
