Thanks MJ! Amazing job on the really old photos. Be sure and click on the link for more examples of before and after. The one that surprised me was the very last one with the women removed.

Thanks MJ. The topic brings back memories when I was in photo school. We were taught and encouraged to make film masks to alter the photos. Also the color instructor would take portions of different photos to create a better looking picture. It would be nothing to see him in one of the studios with his Flexichrome dyes retouching and blending the various sections together. So I guess we really can't trust that every photo is truthful or as it really appears.
