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 tried it out in B&W, Cheers

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!!!

p.s. posted reply without your quote first time!!
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.
