I just visited with some friends I haven't seen in 30 years.
And this photo from the '70's surfaced. I've done a bit in PSE10, but don't know what else can be done. I'd like to remove that rust-colored tint and maybe sharpen a bit. Anyone willing to lend a hand?

Here's an attempt. I am by no means a pro. Sharpening it made it a bit more grainy

not as sharp, but not as grainy either

I've found that if you have a crap pic, you'll always have one.

Not a pro at restoring, but here is my attempt. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Gary

Still learning but hope this is a little better - such a bad exposure hard to get any real definition in faces - Have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year :thumbup:

I used color strokes to desaturate and then it allows selective re-colouring. Played around with Aktiv Refocus plugin in PSE11 and used the sharpen tools in PSE11. Tend to work intuitively, bad habit I guess, so can't remember all of the steps in detail!!

Felt like trying to convert Blancmange to Jelly LOL!!!

Every attempt by the others have upgraded that pic in a certain way and I would have done essentially the same...the main broblem is the focus and a little blurr on that pic that can hardly be taken care off!

How about if you take the B&W that Aranphoto did and colorize it. That seems to be about the sharpest.
