My latest project.






I'm pleased to see that Chris has the white spot and grunge machine working properly once again, I was beginning to think she had broke it. Wink

Great job, Max! I bet the owners will be totally surprised and pleased how well this turned out.

Careful Hannie, Chris is libel to take your statement as a challenge.  Grin

Max - you did an unbelievable job on this tough one.  My only pick is that the woman's feet look truncated, and her leg to our right appears to have a chunk missing.  Unfortunately I can't be much help with suggestions, because that area is so dark I'm having difficulty making out details.  Small stuff considering your amazing clean-up.  Kudos & hugs!

Glenna, I agree about the women's feet, but that's how they appear in the original. The perspective is really skewed, but looks like we have to restore it to what it was.

Max.  We finally have a restorer that can battle against Christine's heavy duty machines.  Great job!

I agree with Glenna that the feet look smaller.  I think the reason is because they are darker after restoration.  If you lighten them up, they will look larger.  Any way, smaller feet are prettier.  Cheesy

Hi folk,

Thanks for your comments, no doubt about it Chris tries to keep us on our toes with the grunge machine.

The feet! They are not visible in the original even when converted to BW, I imagine she is wearing black shoes and they get lost in the shadow, all you can see is a shine that I think comes off buckles, decided to leave well enough alone with them.

Still have a bit of trimming to do and a print out to check it before it goes home.

Max, you've done a fantastic job on this!  You've mastered my grunge machine beautifully!  Perhaps it's time for me to do some tweaking to my machine!! (just kidding!   Too Funny)

I'm confident the owners will be thrilled with what you have done.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, they are much appreciated.

Robert there is NO chance that I will be writing a book on restorations any time soon, I have enough trouble trying to remember what I did that worked at the best of times, I usually wander down so many blind alleys that by the time I get to the destination I can't remember the route I took.

Hi Max...  I can't recall where, but... Photoshop does have a function that will track and keep note of everything you do to a photo if you wish...
Maybe someone else here can shed light on where that function is..  It's been at least a few years since I used it...
