C&C my work please?

[Jack The Ripper]

Ive done a lot of retouching, clonging, removing, adding, etc...

this is the first time i have really taken a whack at restoration.

i got 9 pictures from a co worker that were damaged. i scanned them then did my best to repair them, i have 2 to finish, figured i would see what you all thought about what i have finished so far. some of them erre more damaged than others

this will probably take several posts to get them all on, ill advise when i have them all uploaded

here are the next set...

i have to wait 90 seconds... blah blah blah... this sucks...

6 was a challange with the fade spots...

7 was just removing a few artifacts and bringing out the pic a little..

8 was severely torn but the tear was pretty sharp so when i scanned it it really disappeared and the fix was minimal.

and 9... holy crap, this one was RIDDLED with microcracks. Also, it looks like somone scraped the pic across her chest with a key or something. this one was a lot of work between the microcracks, tears, stains, etc..

i put about 3 hours into this and said screw it, this was an exercise, i wasnt being paid i was doing it for free for some experience.

the last two are not finished, one of them was missing several areas on the pic the size of coins. im still reconstructing those, the other one im dealing with a horrendous band of light leak across the pic, im still playing around wwith that one trying to find a better way to handle it and get it all to blend back together

once i finish those ill post em up.

C&C is desired!!! any tips and such..

Terrific job on all of them, Jack. No picks from viewing the full-size images.
Ever consider a little volunteer time for Operation Photo Rescue?

anyone see anything i screwed up?

oh yeah, i have some higher res versions uploaded to photobucket. lol.

so far im taking the lack of comments as a good thing, people here normaally seem more than happy to pipe up if they see something wrong or have advice on how to do things better.
