Here's what I did to achieve my (really far from being perfect) result: duplicated layer used dark/light filter (default settings) to get more details corrected levels removed damaged border set a a new layer as background with #bbbbbb color copied picture, applied dust&scrates (settings: 6/2) set the d&s layer into "darken mode", so it just covered the white scratches cloned to fill the moving area on the left side darkened the bleached-out area on the right side using the Burn tool cloned and stamped a lot best regards, Marc

Very nice levels and clean-up of Mom, Dad and baby (a few cracks missed around Dad and baby's heads). I haven't got to the sides yet on mine, but might resort to cropping. Also nice job washing Dad's shirt, and extending sky and house.

Good work on dad's face - probably the key reason for the restoration.
Well done.

The charecters are almost revealed correctly, and I say It is a good restoration, but need some more concentration...

Thanks to all for the nice words...

Yepp, still a lot of work left on this picture. Though I could not restore the wall, even if I would take a month for it. *sigh*
