Hopefully to the right place! (this is my first one) Here's the before and after to give everyone something to through darts at (thanks for help with the face)

Thanks Margie   :)   I did have some help with the face from Hannie. That's one of my weak areas - faces. I'm approaching restoration as a photographer and a technician, not an artist. In a way photographers are artists, but I can't draw or paint faces! I can light them and photograph them (on a good day) So, I'll be working on that as time marches on!

My first experience with reproducing color photographs was on an early German computer system for newspapers, ca. 1980. When I asked how he got the colors in the pictures so perfect on each press, he looked me in the eye and said, "We do not print pictures. We print dots. And we print perfect dots." A technician can be the most artistic eye. It's all about perfect pixels.
