Hi All,
I ran across this photo in our family mess of photos and am trying to figure out how to restore it in Photoshop CS5. I have others that part of the photo has been somewhat destroyed by what looks like the pox, but I assume is some sort of mold, breaking down of emulsion, or something.
Does anyone have clever ideas of how to get through to the original enough to restore it? I am a poor artist so can't really just re-draw.
I tried my best, the channels are all about the same. I then decided tried various filters and dodging and burning, all to no avail. It is still in progress, but I will attach were I am now also. It really is a bunch of skulduggery in that I superimposed heads of my grandmother and grandfather on the photo. Didn't have one for the baby.
Thanks for any suggestions, or even, "at that amount of damage it will not be possible" -- either would help me!

PS Oh yes, does anyone know whether it is common to have such outsize images in a photo? The father of the kid seems to be almost a ghost he is so far removed in size from the mother and son. "Would you mind standing back, sir, further, further, further"
