A Big Hug

This is my fourth or fifth restore for OPR. Didn't understand that cropping was ok. Is this one acceptable? Crop is same dimensions as original.

Comments, please. Becky stated she wanted this in grayscale.

Is this too fake looking?? Too red?? Comments please.

Hi Kiska.

That photo is so heavily damaged and a low quality to begin with. I don't know what else can be done. Your restoration has a painted feel to it, but I think it's damaged enough that it will end up with that regardless.

One thing though...what's the filename of that one? I swear that child looks familiar. Could that be a girl? The kid looks like the girl from the Christmas series some of us (including myself) did. If it is, you could use one of our images as a donor for her face.


Kenny

[kiska]

Yeah, it looks painted. Didn't know how else to handle it.. The name is ToddB.

[Kenny]

It could still be her. The file name on the one I did was Bourleta. Here is the picture I'm talking about:



The eyes and chin are what look similar to me.

They might be kin. Mine is topless which makes me think male, even at that young age.

I know it looks painted, but couldn't figure another way. Comments?

Good morning kiska

I think the gentleman looks great, but the woman doesn't look to me much like she does in the original.  From what I can see through the damage, she's younger and her features seem quite different, even though much of it is subtle.  I think you'd be better off to get what you can of her original look and not try to build what's not discernable.  It's a tough one, for sure.

Have a wonderful day!

I have to agree with Glenna on this one. I can't put my finger on what's different with the woman, though. I did a side by side comparison with the original face and the restored one and it's a match. I even tried several different overlay techniques with no luck. Hopefully someone will be able to see what's missing.


Sorry I couldn't help.

I see the shape of the cheeks/smile going in the wrong direction.  e.g. her right cheek .. original is slightly arched, almost straight but not quite .. as in curved slightly over, where as the other seems curved under and too wide to the side of the face.

The cheek structure generally feels too well defined.

Does that make sense to anyone?

Leah M

[kiska]

Leah, you're rightl. The smile lines were off. But her cheeks seem pretty well defined in the blue channel, to me. Here's another go. Still no home run, tho.

[Leah M]

Woohooo!

Now, could youhave a look at something else that might be making a difference.  I'm finding it quite hard to see for sure, cheek her teeth.  I get the feeling that when she smiles, her bottom teeth are not showing, and that any light/white colour may well be a trick of the light on her bottom lip.  Lipstick, lip gloss could have that effect.

[Leah M]

Is this any closer?

[Leah M]

I think those lovely cheekbones are crinkling up her eyes when she smiles, lifting them from underneath if you get my drift
