Hi Vicki,

She looks beautiful Vicki, great job! I just love the glamour shots!

I agree with Kiska about the our left side of the hair needing some depth. I've had a lot of pics with that haze on it. What I do is dupe the layer and set the blending mode to multiply, then add a hide all layer mask. I adjust the opacity of the multiply until it matches the other good darks, this is usually somewhere in the 30's setting. Then just use a soft white brush to correct the haze.

Hope this helps.........Mary :hug:

Vicki, I've been watching progress on this one, but haven't had much to contribute, since you seemed to have things perfectly under control. Still, I wanted to add my kudos to everyone else's. A gorgeous restoration on a stunning portrait.

Bless
