Damp Damaged Photograph
« on: Monday 24 October 05 23:07 BST (UK) »
I have this old photograph of my 2 x Great Grandmothers brother, Nicholas Mutton, that has been damaged by damp mold from poor storage.  Having seen the excellent restoration skills on here I wondered if anything could be done for him  ???

Many thanks

This is a tough one. I can't wait to see everyone else's attempts.

Here's a tip, look at the color channels and you will see yo can take bits and pieces from the different channels and then blend the parts together. That's what I did anyway. I will be interested to know how everyone else goes about it.
