Hi, Everybody, I'm back since tax season is over. :)
This should be pretty straight forward. There was some water damage on the right by the plants but I think I got it cleaned up. Please let me know what you think. It's good to be back. I see there are a good number of apparently easy restores out there to do.

David, I took the original and did a Levels Adjustment (moved the sliders in each of three channels) and compared it to your restored version. On yours the bride's dress has a pinkish cast and when I look in info colortab and run the cursor over the dress it shows a lot more red than what I had after doing the Levels Adjustment.

Thanks for the advice. Margie. I tried adjusting each channel manually with no success. However, I did an automatic levels adjustment to the RGB combined and it seemed to take out the red. Here is what I came up with. What do you think?

You could use a color balance adjustment to tone down the red.

Thanks Kiska I used the color balance to take away some of the red, not as much as in your example. I also fixed the hair of the mother on the left. Here is what I came up with.

What do you all think? This is why I try to do black and white photos.

David, this looks much better. :up:
