Title: Salvation Army Band c1910 - Remove sticky tape mark
Post by: macken_h on Sunday 25 September 22 06:18 BST (UK)
Hi,
This photo is in pretty poor condition and someone used sticky tape once upon a time.
Is it possible to remove "the scars" and restore the photo?
Thanking you in anticipation.
Hilary

Photoshop reports strange size etc. Do others get the same values or ?

japeflakes - my software also displayed the same massive size when I downloaded the photo - 768" x 568" with the pixels showing the same two numbers.

I did a Copy & Paste into a blank screen shot document = approx 15" x 10" but the Paste into the blank document only covered 8" x 10" but had very similar pixels = 771 x 588. I'm busy working on cleaning up the photo.

Hi,
Thankyou to all of you for your work.
You are truly amazing.
Next month is History Month and I'm putting together a virtual walk of our town on Facebook looking at all the old buildings.  Some long gone and others still there. This photo can now be included.
With grateful thanks,
Hilary
