that was a really good work there but I was wondering if you can cut the face from the the first reply and put it on this one that u fix. Thanks

It just a matter of spending some time on it.
I wanted to test it so I only used the patch tool to zip around..to bad it such a low res scan it could be cleaned up nicely.

Hi Everyone,

It's my first time here, and I'm glad to see so many people in this community.

When I looked at the image, it seemed to me that she was holding a flower in her hand, so my resto reflects that. I'm not really happy with the final output, because I think it looks a little to much like a painting, but what can you do with an image this far gone I guess?

Let me know what you think.

by george, i think you're right. there does seem to be a flower in her left hand.

hang in there, maria. this is not an easy one.

i've been looking at it again. this is basically a two-part work. you've got the folds/scratches and the off-color/fading. each part shld be addressed separately until that part is fixed. i'd start with the cloning. get that all patched up and then fix the color balance issues.

let us know where you're having troubles. post some of your work. that would help.

TONS of clone, lots of airbrush, and a bit of push and smudge here and there.
