This was taken with a Kodak Box Brownie camera about 1943. Taken at my father's wartime billet, a farm North East of Manchester. It is a photograph taken with the D200 and Nikkor Micro 55mm f2.8 lens of a contact print. The original is quite badly scratched and took a while to clean up. It was also suffering badly with white spots all over, which were removed with a combination of the clone tool, spot healing tool and a luminosity brush.

Nice work Robert. Now you have a digital copy which is easier to keep but can also very quickly destroyed by inadvertent actions. Ah, the wonders of the digital world. |

That's nice. Like the dog! There have been lots of dalmatians in my family.  I have slowly been working my way through a stack of old family snaps and they can mostly be greatly improved, though some are more challenging than others! Here's one I did ages ago. I did it as an experiment to see how much detail could be recovered - not much!! The original photo was just a little 2" square thing and pretty much in tatters. This is my great aunt and uncle with their dog, Khan, taken in the 1930s. Attachment: photorestoration.jpg (Downloaded 14 times) |

That is a very good repair Judith. Dont knock it. It is probably as good as the original. Remember that the lenses were not very good in the old days!!! |

Considering how bad it was and how small, I think that is a really good result. I have an oil painting of my grandfather which is pretty bad, I attempted to 'clean' it years ago and mad a real mess of it, I have had a couple of attempts to photograph and restore it. Neither attempt produced anything I was happy with. |
