    WW2 photo restoration advice

    Hi
    A friend has asked me to sort this picture of his grandfather out for him as he only had a photo of the photo i corrected the perspective and have given it a quick look.
    The damage is fairly limited and should be easy enough to remove the one thing tha is troubling me is there are areas - toward bottom left mostly that are marked (doesnt look like shadow)
    Ive looked in th echannels and none seem particulary helpful in terms of reducing that - are there any other clever ways i could remove it or at least minimise it

    thanks
    Doug

    Hi Doug
    Dodge and Burn might be a quicker solution than just finding a "clever" way.

    There might be other options yet this is a fairly compressed JPEG which makes attempting some "clever" approaches untenable. Do you have the original uncompressed image (or less compressed JPEG)?

      How about masking it and adjusting the levels? That might lighten it some.

        Yes I have a better version the upload only allows for 100k image max dodge and burn did cross my mind and likewise masking and lightening that area - just wondered if i was missing something else?

          by deboismenu
          Hello!
          After spending some time only reading I decided to write my first post :-)
          I found plenty of great examples and ideas but since I'm new to restoration I would like to ask for your advice on this photo.

          I scanned it using Epson V700 and SF. Saved it in tiff and only...

          Restoration 1952 photo
          by bpurvis
          This is my father-in-law in 1952. There was quite a bit of damage and the telephone wires nearly drove me nuts! I considered just cropping them out, but wanted to keep the original content intact. I can always crop one to print.

          Can you please tell me how I did and if there is anything...

          Photo restoration of my Dad
          by Chilihook
          This picture is of my Dad when he was a kid in the early 1940s. He's the one in the middle. As you can see in the original photo, a good deal of the picture is missing and there are cracks running all through it.

          I did this resto about 2 years ago and was my second attempt at a serious...
