Another Critique

This is the first restoration I started on.

What I did:

1.) Made a copy of the background layer.
2.) Selected the picture from the cardboard and created another background.
3.) Adjusted lighting using Levels, Curves, Shadow/Highlight.
4.) Used Dodge on the lace in the dress to bring it out more.
5.) Used Neat Image for Noise Reductions.
6.) Cloned and Healed.

Please let me know what you think!

BTW - These are my mother's father's parents (my great-grandparents) on their Wedding day in 1914.

Very nice, Tammylj.
