I've got one I think is ready to go home, just wanted to run it past some some more trained eyes first.  Once again the eyes are an issue with me. I really wanted to add some sparkle, they are just too dark - there's nothing there to work with :'(  See what you all think.

The color looks weird in PhotoBucket, I hope it doesn't look like that here.

Everyone have a safe New Year's Eve  :up: Stay at home and restore photos!

Good afternoon Bob,

Looking good.  Your not alone on the eye deal.  I go in for cataract surgery on Jan 4 and 18.

Both parents of the little girl have dark eyes and all the other pictures of the baby have dark eyes so I don't think that is a problem.

I took your restored copy (and maybe it is just because it is on the internet from Photobucket) and did a standard levels correction moving the individual RGB Sliders and it cleaned up the whites a little.   There is a white streak on the bib next to her left ear.  See below



Keep up the good work.

Thanks Mike! You are so right - looking at the histogram the highlights were non existent. The streak on the shoulder I felt was a glare from the flash off the plastic bib, but it looks much better removed.  How's this looking?



Good luck with your cataract surgery.
