Hi all good early morning 8)
just starting a new restore.
Original below and then color corrected using: levels adjustment in each red green and blue channels. Then an auto curves adjustment. Another adjust using threshold and difference method.
Now I have to deal with the yellow... :cool:

as always, feedback needed please..
so why did I think this would be easy?? Can't seem to get these whites right.. here is my crazy layers .. the color balance layer was red-5 -green -3 blue -16..
the stamp layer was a blur=average- inverted to the opposite color - changed blend mode to color and turned down to 10% to try to get red of cast.
Still not happy... did another curves adjustment using black and white point... toned the adjustment down to 44%
probably a much simpler way...
here's the printscreen:

Still have more repair to do..
I'm still here working on this image lol
I did some more repair.. ran Imagenomic noiseware filter - removed effect from all eyes noses and mouths - warmed the faces only of the boys and men - kicked up the vibrance a tad added 1px mono gaussian noise.. this is where I'm at..I've grown to absolutely adore these boys... :loveit:

so hubby walks in and says "skin is too red" and leaves... sigh...

which is better:

I think the skin tone looks great. I don't know if it is just me, but the boy's pants and the sky seem to have a greenish cast?

Oh my, I didn't scroll ALL the way down. A million pardons. Don't you hate looking for something that isn't there!!! :D Was there a green color cast? Can't tell on my monitor.
I made a new layer and used selective color to reduce the yellow in the whites only.. does it help with the green cast which is not cooporating with me :mad:

Yes, much better as no green cast on the uniforms.
