School days ~ To keep the pages consistent I volunteered to take the whole lot. Thank you, Jonas! I am really enjoying these. :hug:
These are the first 4 of 15.

Hi Candy. I was hoping whoever got these would post them. Thank you! If you have time, would you share your process? These were more challenging than they might have looked. Look forward to seeing all of them. ;)
Normally we wouldn't give one volunteer the whole series of photos, but in this case Candice made a great case they needed to be consistent. These photos are special as the husband and wife that brought them in lived in terror at the time of the flooding that they would drown. They live in the logging part of WV and when the flood started it broke logs off a a truck and those logs kept ramming their house with each wave of the flooding. The husband was really devastated about having his yearbook ruined. His wife mourned the loss of photos and other things, but seemed to bounce back better.
Very nice job Candice, and while it may seem like I'm not on the Forum as much--I've been under the weather again and trying to bounce back.

Thank you, Margie, for further expounding on why I took these. I hope you get to feeling better. Know that you're in my prayers.... :hug:
As for my process... I'll try Shadow, but that's not one of my strong points. Have you noticed that I don't tell others in here, most of the time, how to come up with a solution? lol
Margie, sure sorry you are under the weather again. Wishing you a speedy return to your usual peppy self!
Candy, totally understand. Really like that your restore preserved the paper texture and you were able to get the test nice and sharp. Very nice! :up:

Thank you... I can tell you that the first thing I did was to take one picture and do a curves layer on it. After that I opened each picture separately and dragged the curves layer over to the new picture. Saved. Moved on to the next.
In this case, the font is easy to replace if needed. It is Times New Roman which, of course, is a very common font on documents. If I need to blur just a tad, I do so. That way it takes away the pristine look that would have been there when new, but not in damage. Fortunately there aren't many pages that need names replaced.
When working on coloration, as in this case, there is a slight vanilla look much like OPRs page. If there's no handwriting on the page, it's a simple coloration but if there is a signature, I keep the ink color.
That's just some of the process. After that it's just a matter of doing the same thing uniformly.
Hi Margie.. Sending you healing vibes dear..Feel better :hug:
Candy, great tip about the font! Your process explanation is excellent ... you teacher you! ;)
Great work Candy... thanks for the tips too :up: :up:
Candice thanks for the insight which could help the next person when it comes to text.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes, not totally feeling great but a whole lot better.
Margie
A couple more to share. Keep in mind none are fully complete until the last run through. I'm working on one and that leaves 7...

Only 5 more to go.

Looking good Candy. That gentleman is going to be so happy to see these pages. :up:
Great work Candy... and a LOT of work :up: :up: :up:
Thank you Shadow and Lynnya. I've sent all but 3 home. The last batch is the has up to 30 pictures on each page, sometimes a few less. Sometimes I just have to back off or I'll go..... :D They've been so much fun to work with though!

What a great job Candy, a lot of work you did!

Hannie
Thanks, Hannie. I hope the family will enjoy them for years to come.
Wonderful Candy! :up:
Thank you Shadow.
Candice, the man whose school album these belong to will be thrilled and that is an understatement.
Margie
Margie, I'd love to know the story of why this yearbook was so special.
Candice, simply because the pages were warped and and his yearbook destroyed, and because it was all he had left of his high school memories.

I can understand that. I still have my Senior year book. :)
