Hey photoshop junkies, I'm mid-way through a restoration of a photo for a friend of mine. This is the only remaining photo of him as a baby being held in up by his father. His father died when he was a boy. He had only a few photos which were destroyed when his house burned down. Imagine how happy he was when I reminded him I thought I had scanned one of the photos when we lived together as roommates.
So, I got part way through, and then got a bit distracted by life. I kind of just cloned away and took artistic license to fill in the blanks. I want to stay true to the original but clean it up a bit. I am simply wondering if anyone here has any advice on what I should do next. It still needs some more clean-up, which is a painstaking process. The baby feet are really weird, because there was not really any information to work from there. I thought maybe it would not be noticable, but I guess I am going to have to scour the web and fine suitable substitutes to mask in.
Let me know if you have any advice to offer. I do not want to change the background because the original Moroccan backdrop is important to the context of this image.
Thanks for any helpful input or inspiration to wrap this up,
Amy
