As my last photography independent study project, I restored an old photography that Mr. Madar had scanned of his father. It was originally from the 40s, so it had the nice old fashioned sepiatoned look.The photo had a corner missing, and a big rip down the middle, so it wasn&rsquot;t going to be a simple touch up job; there was serious restoring to be done.
Basically I used a combination of copy-paste, cloning, and healing to fix up the photo. I can’t really explain it any better than that without showing you in person. If you have some Photoshop experience, you should be able to see how most of it was done. It took a lot of playing with the healing brush to get this all to blend nicely, and I'm not 100 percent satisfied with all of it, but it came out better than I expected it to
