Help, too upset to fix

[Fedje]

Can someone please restore this for me?

My husband passed away 12/23/08 and I would love to have this picture for the service on Monday.
It is when from when we started dating. I tried to do it myself but the tears keep getting in the way. It has a few speckles, needs color adjustment, and maybe a little sharpening. I wanted to try the shadows/light thing in my Photoshop but cannot tell when I have things right today.

Thank you to anyone who has time to help me with this one.

Fedje,
In the spirit of the holidays and in honor of your husband, here is one to consider.

Granted, I did not have lots of time today. But, see what you think. If it's acceptable, right click my name and send me an email with your email address. I will forward a larger version. Tell me where you will be printing it and I can soft proof and convert for that stores' printer to be sure it looks right.

I was able to upsample the image, which worked well. So, the one I can send you will be adequate for printing.

I chose to leave the border since it was dated. You can crop as desired.

Happy Holidays !

Yes, he was a hunk! We had a great 37 years together, but the house feels so empty.

Thanks everyone, they all are much better than I could do right now.

Hope you have enough of the good times in memory to carry you through the rough times.

My mom died the same day this year...no matter how you change the picture it will still be perfect! I love the older pictures-they show the real character of a person. Just feel what you feel for now, and everything else will fall into place. You must love him very much!

So sorry for your loss. Good memories will come, it just takes time.

Well, other than his leg which I didn't have time to fix, this is my contribution. On second thought, Add some greens and lessen the yellows with a bit of vibrance might help the image too. Hope that helps.
