Mum.

Good day to all,

My late Mom extreme left of the picture, when it was socially accepted to smoke woodbines and drink dark stout in celebration of winning the "arrows shield" in your local pub, a clean up would be very welcome if possible, but alas, a scan of a scan, so do your best folks.

Many thanks in advance ;D

Peter.

Folks, (Wendy, David, kevin and Terry,

I wish I had a pound for every time I have used the term "From sows ear to silk purse" on this site, the results served up are astounding in view of the occasional rubbish I offer up to the restores to work with, many many thanks for your work, (again) ;D ;)

Kevin, Put yer coat back on mate, you put you work up besides the best of the best in the world of restoration and with thousans of restoration under their belt, for that you are to be admired, it also shows your commitment to join that elite group, thank you.  ;)

Peter.

Before I discovered RootsChat recently, my amateur process was basically:
- deskew and crop
- adjust levels to remove unused bandwidth and set lightness
- use clone/healing/patch tools to remove scratches.
- gaussian blur to remove grain
- unsharpen mask to optimise sharpness
- adjust hue/saturation

That's pretty much it. But these wouldn't produce anything like the results I have seen here. I realise that this is not a 'Photoshop Tutorial' forum, but I would appreciate some very general pointers or links.

Hi Kevin

I learnt most of what I know off youtube , type photoshop restore old photos into the youtube search engine and you will find lots of tuturials that shows you step by step
