Hi Bob,
Attached is a very rough first version. Don't draw any conclusions from this. My first impression is that there's enough detail in different parts of the photo to make a reasonably good restore. But it would help a great deal if you'd post a pic of the restored boiler room with this boiler, preferably from the same angle.
Three questions:
- Is the inside of the boiler really 'evenly coloured dark' as the photocopy suggests or are the pipes on the outside visible on the inside too?
- Are the front of the bases either side (the bits inside the circles) flat or convex (or even concave)?
- On the 'triangle pipes'in the front, the photocopy shows a discontinuity (the two black strips). Is this a construction feature or due to the photocopy? In the black 'strip' on the left of the triangle, I see what looks like traces of a white line.
Most restore requests on Rootschat are pretty straightforward. It's usually clear how a photo needs to be restored and everyone gives it their best shot. For this photo, I think an interactive (dialogue) process will give the best results. It takes more time, but it will be worth it in the long run.
Thanks,
Mike
