To retouch or NOT!

[kiska]

The area on the dress on her right looks 'drawn in' by the original retoucher (as do her hands). The other sections of the dress look more 'normal'. Do I try to make it look more like folds or leave the original manipulated creases?

If it is not recent damage I would probably leave it as it is, they will be used to it looking that way and any changes may seem strange.

I think that area on the left of the photo (to the woman's right) is a Victorian style chair that she's resting her arm on.  I couldn't find a really good example to match what's in your photo, but this one shows the kind of upholstery it is:

Aha! Good one. A strong possibility. Thanks.

Wow! A Kurt Struve sighting! Long time no see.

[kstruve]

Yeah, I'm kind of like Bigfoot, a UFO, or the Loch Ness Monster sometimes.

Kurt -- I think Sassy-squatch might apply!  It's so good to have your eagle eyes and honest assessments back on the forum!
