Re: my first restoration and its green!!!!!!

This might help find the Gray point

To select gray point:

COPY of original

Shft+Ctrl+N (New Layer)
Edit>Fill (Select 50% Gray in the "Use" Box that pops up)
Change "Mode" from "Normal" TO "Difference"
Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Threshold .. click OK
slide adjustment triangle all the way to the left (all white) then back to the right till the first black spots appear... when there is a blob bigger than a dot, Shift Click on it then Click OK in the threshold box
Turn OFF OR Delete the Gray Layer

Gray Point is established!

Double click the Threshold layer Icon to re-activate the layer and bring back up the threshold adjustment box

continue to find the black and white points as Flora explained

Re: my first restoration and its green!!!!!!

I’ve used the blue channel to bring as much details as possible. (high pass)
For the faces definitions I utilized (again) the blue channel. I created a “burn” mask & blend it with soft light.
To achieve a smooth background, I blurred it first & then applied a high pass texture taken from the original.

Re: my first restoration and its green!!!!!!

you guys are wonderful, thank you all for your hard work and advice. I see there are numerous ways to do things, and I also see how destructive I was probably being, just willy nilly experimenting with everything. (as a beginner). Can any one recommend an idiot proof book on photo restoration?
peace,
Jozie
