A friend of mine asked if I could repair this ohoto of her dad.The super imposed face is not wanted,only the main character.A photographer charged her to reproduce this photo from the originals,which were destroyed by a fire.I've tried all types of experiments: different channels,layer adjustments,layer masks etc., with no results.If I get rid of the face on the left,do you think I could copy,flip and blend to get a decent result? I'm trying to get this done for Christmas for her to give to her father. I may be asking too much?

Try just a hat flip - I attached a Q&D here. A more detailed selection (better following the hat outline) would probably work better. Some clone stamp work around the ear and maybe a watercolor effect - the face is pretty blurred, so I doubt if you would ever get a photo-quality version. Just a thought...

OK Don. I redid it and came up with this.
Rebuild the hat with clone tool, sample color and brush smooth med oil brush.
Recolored eyes and teeth and faded with opacity.
clone background and smooth out.
Put new Marine insignier on.
use blur tool to smooth skin. and around outline to blend.
Do unsharp mask amount 27 - pixels 73.8 - theshold 0
The picture is sharper & smoother on my screen so if you have the original it will come out sharper.Attached Files

Here is my try at it ... I am not totally happy with the top of the hat, I think the color might be a little contrasty - things I would normally sleep on...
What I did was basically flip the hat and everthing else on the right side onto a new layer, I pushed and pulled at free transform until the shapes matched the left side, layer mask to blend. Same with the top of the hat.
The rest was clean-up, lightening and darkening and sharpening. I then duplicated the final image onto it's own layer a couple of times - to each layer I did one of the following with varied opacity and layer masks; soft light blending mode, curves adjustment, multiply, and screen for an area I wanted to lighten. I think that was everything ...

Hey guys nice submission by all.
Vikkie how did you do the eyes. Did you do a copy and paste from another Photo, or by hand. I agree with the hat, it should be replaced, but I tried to keep it as is to see what would happen. I ruched the eyes.

This is an original of my niece, consequently, some chemical was spilled on the right-side of her face. I would like to know what's the best way to restore this photo.

by lemc227My husband has a fun feature on his phone that picks the best face in a series of photos. Unfortunately his phone didn't even recognize my sweet baby's face as a face and mishmashed her face together from the series of photos. I've tried bringing facial features up and down, but it's just not looking...

by SibylleaThis is my good friend Victoria next to her favorite actor Vin Deasel. Almost purely cut and paste, the only part I'm proud of is getting her skin color to look like that of the other girl's.
I copied her face, tinted it yellow and applied it as a color mask. Then I just played with the opacity...-

by dasailr03Hello. Any ideas on how to best to:
1. smooth and/or enhance: face, eyes, lips, necklaces).
2. Replace background (same colors but without the debri)
3. Give the pic a more sharper focused (worthy of printing at 8x10)
4. Color, B&W and or sepia touches.
