Hi, Everybody, I'm back since tax season is over.   :)

This should be pretty straight forward. There was some water damage on the right by the plants but I think I got it cleaned up.   Please let me know what you think.  It's good to be back.  I see there are a good number of apparently easy restores out there to do.

David, I took the original and did a Levels Adjustment (moved the sliders in each of three channels) and compared it to your restored version. On yours the bride's dress has a pinkish cast and when I look in info colortab and run the cursor over the dress it shows a lot more red than what I had after doing the Levels Adjustment.

Thanks for the advice. Margie.  I tried adjusting each channel manually with no success.  However, I did an automatic levels adjustment to the RGB combined and it seemed to take out the red.  Here is what I came up with.  What do you think?

You could use a color balance adjustment to tone down the red.

Thanks Kiska I used the color balance to take away some of the red, not as much as in your example.  I also fixed the hair of the mother on the left.  Here is what I came up with. 



What do you all think?  This is why I try to do black and white photos.
