Here is my most recent and by far the most challenging photo restoration that I have ever performed. It might be hard to tell from these low resolution images, but this image has an infestation of mildew over the entire image. Fixing the tears and lost detail is simple compared to getting the clapboards to look acceptable in spite of all the mildew damage.
The young girl didn't have enough detail left in her face to merit restorable facsimile. The infant had at least one eye, half his nose, and enough hair that I could fake a reasonable approximation of what he might have resembled. This was done in Photoshop CS5 by doing a reverse cloning of the eye and partial nose. The mouth was cloned from his older brother, transformed, skewed, then rotated. The tall young man in the middle rear is L. P. Lavoie, my Grandfather! For a restoration quote email me at tomlavoiephot@hotmail.com.
