I would love it if ya'll would look this over and let me know if I've missed anything. This is my first time uploading on the forum, so let me know if I do it wrong.  :-\

Charlene,

I think it looks beautiful. I hate to say it, but this is one I could not get to correct as good as yours. It did not want to get away from yellow and wonder how you did it? I even tried finding neutral gray and that didn't work.

Thanks I appreciate you guys looking it over.
@Margie: I had trouble with the yellow at first too. I kept trying to use the levels adjustment but after a full day realized it just wasn't going to happen. I looked around for another way and found Katrin Eismann's channel replacement listed in OPR tutorials section. It worked wonders!

Hi Charlene, thanks for posting your lovely restore on the forum!
You have done a great job, I'm sure it wasn't easy to get the colors back like you did.

Looking at the original I wonder if it would look good if you lightened your version just a little?
The whites of the blanket and rug could use a little yellow and perhaps even magenta so they don't look gray?

A beautiful restoration.  Perhaps some sharpening might help on this neat photo.
