Faded, spotted, and heavy edge. Past all of that, it's a wonderful picture.

It's like Magic the detail that can be brought back to life.

Pat you are so right. I wasn't sure I could pull this one off but nothing ventured nothing gained.
I want to have it sent back in before I sit on this up coming jury. Starts May 28 @ 1:30pm.

Hi Candy

Great restoration! I thought it looked a little washed out, so I downloaded your restored image and added 2 layers. The first one was just a working layer with which I took each channel in levels and brought the slider in to where the histogram starts to get steep. Then I added another layer, set it to multiply and reduced the opacity. I think since you'll get a little more grain, the most obvious parts could be helped by using the patch tool to capture a smoother look in open areas. The rest doesn't look too bad, even multiplied. Just a quick suggestion - only took a minute or so.

Bless!

Thanks Glenna! You're a step ahead of me. :hug: I'll do that.

That helped a great deal Glenna. Thanks you.

Smooth sailing. Sending home.

I twy! I weally, weally do. It feels great to have added something to your restoration, since my synapses aren't working well enough for me to do my own right now. I can't stand being without my OPR fix!

Hugs
