Huge damage

[Jonas.Wendorf]

Hey everybody,

I just finished my latest restore and because it's from my own gallery, you have to be very picky this time ;-).

Before:
After:

I started with a simple levels adj. to get the color and tone right, afterwards selected the upper part and free transformed it to get rid of the little border.
Now I copied & pasted a piece from the surrounding paper and covered the slip of paper with it, using a curves adj. layer to make it match the surrounding area.
Now I used dodge & burn for the main part to get rid of all the folds and after I was finished, healed and cloned the remaining damage.
Next I desaturated the yellow blotches on the lower part of the paper and used a new layer on "Color" mode to restore the color in casted areas.

Looking forward to your feedback on this monster of an image (original is 7800x5700px).

Hi Jonas. This looks quite good, but I noticed what looks like damage to me:



Of course, if it exists in the other similar images then I guess it's not damage.

No problem. If you need another one I have a final that hasn't been sent.

There were actually 3 of this one so I suppose they wanted more than 1 copy? Great work Jonas, I like the colours, they blend very well without being too bright.

The mix up is my fault!
I placed these photos in Jonas's gallery and wasn't even aware they were identical, forgot to tell Jonas about it!  :-[

I'll hold off on the one with the coke bottle until I know what's up.
