A Fresh Coat of Paint

12/16/2016

 
Three years ago, my parents delivered boxes of photos and documents for digitization. In that box were several wonderful old photographs, including one of my 2nd great grandfather, Peter Campbell, great grandfather Charlie Davis, and 2nd great grandfather Joseph Henry Davis Jr. The young lad is my Grandma Grace's oldest brother, Peter.

The photograph was glued to a stiff board but somehow still managed to get torn. It was also faded, blotched and stained. Photoshop to the rescue! Below is the "restored version", although, like George Lucus did with his remastered Star Wars, it removes some of the original detail, such as the sheet hanging over the window. I'm not sure Charlie would have objected to the removal of the ugly sheet but perhaps I should put it back in.

Thoughts?
