Removing stains, scratches, and smooth face(Original)

[Gerald McClaren]

Ladies and Gentlemen this is the original. I didn't know if I should place it under reply or a new thread. I hope I didn't messed up. Someone had asked about placing the original photo because they would have a better idea on how to repair it.

Hi Gerald.

The problem with her shoulders in the previous thread was her left shoulder and not her right one.
This is a very tricky (and time consuming) image

There is loads more that could be done but I’m stopping here. I think it’s back to a ‘standard’ Restoration.

definitely a difficult image. nice job, ken. not quite sure i agree with the bright yellow color, but definitely a good job.

this image has a lot of problems; poor color, low lighting, large areas missing, stains and streaks... a real challenge.

one thing i'd suggest here, gerald, is to leave the missing pieces missing. you could do a vignette over the area or some other effect as a fill, or just leave it blank. you dont always have to fill in missing areas that are not critical to the main focus of the image. this would save you a ton of cut and paste or cloning.
