| | Hi Duv,
...we seem to keep on "cross-posting" ....
Thank you so much for your words!
As for how long it took me.... I'm sure you know by now, from my answer to Gary...  |

| | | To Everyone,
Duv, are you the one that uploaded the file Dave-corner.tif? I think so - that's why I thought your name was Dave, sorry.
Flora, once again your work sickens me. It's too good. I don't think you know photo restoration at all, but instead use your time machine to travel back in time and take the photo again... that's cheating!
I think I'm going to have to go with Flora on this one. The only thing I can 'complain' about it is that the wall seems to continue off at a different angle after the laundry...
Flora, I'll have my upload program changed to allow PSD uploads in the future, but for now, you could try renaming it to a .jpg, then uploading it. When I download it, I will simply rename it to .psd, and we will see if that works.
Please let me know once you've uploaded it (I receive no confirmation when it's uploaded).
If the client likes it (she will, I'm quite certain) and once I show it to her (should be within this week), I will make the donation to RetouchPRO. Your guys' loyalty to the site is amazing! |

| | | Duv & Flora, excellent job! I can't imagine how the customer would not be happy with what you've done. |

| | Excellent indeed.. 
I can make the exisiting photo look pretty good but the reconstruction has me somewhat baffled. Looks like Flora borrowed a hand from the lady in the center of the photo.
Duv and Flora do you have any hints on how you did this? |

| | Tyler Cruz,
thank you for your great comment!!!
You are right about the wall .... I'm going to correct it before uploading the picture.
I'll also save & upload the full size as .JPG .... but you won't get any of the layers in this way.... Vikki,
Thank you so much for your feedback! Gary
I actually borrowed the whole arm from the other lady ..... I pasted it over the 'missing' one and erased the part of it which covered the original 'stump' (  ) .... I adjusted size, contrast and consistency of the pasted part to fade in the existing one....  |

| | | Flora,
I actually meant just rename the extention of the PSD file to .jpg so that my upload program will allow you to select it. Then when I get it, I will rename it back to .psd, and it should open fine in Photoshop... |

| | Hi Tyler Cruz,
...All done .... I'm uploading the 'monster' file/Image (nearly 50MB) to your site as .PSD file ...
It's going very slowly .... soooo .... it'll take a while .... As soon as it's uploaded I'll let you know!
P.S. .... I renamed most of the Layers .... but not all of them ... |

| | Flora,
There's been a bit of trouble - when I had the uploader upgraded to allow PSD's, I didn't know I needed to also update the accompanying data file. I just tried it with the new data file, and it uploads fine. I have no idea where it is being uploaded to if you are using the old one! Lost in Cyberspace somewhere I guess!
So my apologies.. please delete all the old files you downloaded from me, and download http://www.movie-vault.com/tpr/tpr1.1.zip again. I'm logged into my server, so I can see pretty much in real time what you are uploading, but you aren't actually sending it to my server now... try downloading it again.. it should work this time!
Thanks |

| | | I think that the programmer that made me the program, when he updated it to allow PSD's, that he tested it by using his own server (which the data file contains information of), and when he sent it back to me, this file came as well, and so my guess is that you were sending to his 'test' server.. which also explains why it probably went slow.
I have a dedicated server, so it should go fairly fast on my server.
Thanks. |
