Getting Married

[Lynnya]

Trying to color correct this one before I start repairs... Did a levels slider in RGB then I checked the black and white numbers.. whites were pretty ok for this type of photo I think..I ignored the specular highlights of the lightbulbs - adjusted the blacks up a bit.. will probably tweak again at the end..At the moment there is no end in sight... :cool:

Please let me know what you think...

 

p.s. I also used Shadow's tip about color correcting a good selection of the image - cutting out most of the damage to get more genuine color result...then filling in the rest of the mask with white...

[Shadow]

You are fearless! Isn't it exciting when the color goes from "Oh my" to "Wow"! Good luck Lynn.

[Lynnya]

I know... I love when it does that...I think I really like the hopeless ones best.. I feel sorry for them.. As long as I have most of the face and hands .. the rest is pretty restorable... (she says confidently) :cool:  we'll see....

I have a question... do you think the white object to your right on the screen on the bridal arch is a white dove or damage... would that be normal for a southern wedding maybe?

[Shadow]

Think it is like the flower/ribbon across from it on the left.

[Lynnya]

Thanks Lyn  :up:

[Bambi]

I love when the color correction is so dramatic! Can't thank you enough for taking on the restorations that are too daunting for most of us.

You said a mouthful.  I know, I personally, don't do weddings.

[Lynnya]

Here's where I'm at with this sweet wedding... comments and eyes welcome...

[Shadow]

You did it again! Beautiful Lynn.  :up: :up:

[Lynnya]

Thanks Lyn.. I just noticed some fuzzy damage type stuff in the left corner wall on my screen... shall fix that now.. :hug:

[Shadow]

"my, what good eyes you have!"  ::)

Oh wow! What a difference! This is such a sweet photo, too. :)

[Lynnya]

Thanks RSV  :)

[Mhayes]

Wow! This one came a long, long way. Had to smile when on the left for titles it reads: Getting Married by Lynnya. Struck me funny that you were either getting married or performing the ceremony.   ::)
