Old Photo Fix Up
Apr 30, 2017 18:08:27 #
Would appreciate some help on fixing up this photo. It is an iphone image of a soon-to-be 50 year old image.
If I can get it good enough I plan to have it laser printed in a gold locket.
Please let me know what you do. I also took an image of the image with a D800 and 105 lens. It has much more megapixels but frankly doesn't look any better.
I don't desire the Maid of Honor fragment.

An option I'm considering is to try and fit in her face from this one. It is from about the same time.
This one is taken with the D800 and 105.

Here's my first attempt: Cropped, corrected whites, cloned away bridesmaids hand, sharpened.
I don't know if this is what you need, MtnMan. If for a locket, IMO I would crop across the bouquet to lose the bottom half of the couple.
If I get time later I'll try changing the faces. You can see the white spots that need cloning out. I missed those, getting old!

Once you "get rid of" the Maid of Honor (as MtnMan did) and downsize the photo to fit into a locket, I doubt you will even be able to see the spots or lack of sharpness. You may even have to settle for just the heads considering that you want a photo only about 1 1/4" x 1".

Thanks! Good improvements.
I suppose it is impossible to restore what isn't there.
I need to get the dimensions of the locket. I have not seen a real one with the offered color laser etching.

Here is my try at it. I cleaned up the spots. Fixed bet I could with camera raw then mad a high pass filter layer and sharpened the edges again. Once pleaded with that I started a dodge and burn effect on the skin but using different colors with the paint brush. I looked at it in a reduced size for a locket and I think it will work.

Nope, I've never seen colored etching of any kind. I have seen a locket with a photo in and the photo sealed with plastic, I think. Transparent anyway. Unfortunately I don't know who did it, where, or when.
I tried reducing the photo to a size for a locket. The best I could get was 1.5X1.3 inch. Hopefully this may act as a guide. Image attached.

Done my best to replace her face with the requested one. Hope it works out.
