I have emailed these pictures to Danny he told me to add them in this section, i have some pictures my friend sent me, now i am more into making photos into paintings than to restore photos, so i am going to add some this week for you to do as a challenge.

It looks like the photos have got stuck to the glass of the photo frames.

Here is two pictures of my friends son, hes a grown up now and a very goodlooking man too.

Don't bother looks like its too hard to do anyhow, i did try it and it really is hard so no worries.

53 people also must agree you looked but its too hard innit?

Nevermind!!!

I had just about done one, I thought I would take a try. I usually take a look I sometimes have a go but rarley post. Restoration is not one of my main skill areas I guess and there are some amazing people here in that area. This one I did is probably not very good but I hope it is in the right direction. If you want I can finish the second one. I kind of got 2/3rds through the first then applied some of the same edits to the second then wrapped up the first when I noticed your second post.

Absolutely perfect!

How very very talented you are, thank you very much!!!

I will show his Mom now, she is going to be so happy.

CreedUK here is a message from Michelle for you!!!

Thank you for redoing my picture. It is a awesome picture that looks 100% better than it did before. Wow what a difference. Now I can keep it for as long as I want without it getting bad.

I selected the forearms, the baseball, and the carpet. To these separate selections I used levels adjustment layers. Later clone and healing brush tools

Oh wow Phil, that is very cleverly done, well done that is gorgeous!!!

I will have a go at doing this on the other pictures i have, so much appreciated, i will show Michelle this picture and then i will ask her to give me some feedback for you Phil, thank you!!!

Just my quick take on the first one.
Mostly selective black overlays and softlight, some work ont he red chanel and a bit of cloning.

Thank you for the kind coments I was glad I could make an improvment. I decided to continue my efforts on the second one which was harder for sure.
