Congratulations :thumbup: ! You and your bride have aged well. That was meant as a compliment! I didn't say "well aged". We are coming up on 53 this November. Time seems to pass so quickly; even your two flower girls must be approaching retirement.

If we had any pictures taken by the family, I have no clue where they may be now. I'm not sure I'd want to mess with them if I did.

You have been doing a fine job. You still have a few more days to go. I have found after doing a number of this far gone photo's it's often time to pick up the camera and go and look for something that matches your back ground. Perhaps the same church or court house or public building that would have the same type of wood paneling.

You will be sending hours trying to repair just the back ground as you have found out, and it still won't come in near as good as a total replacement. The important part of the picture are the people and positions in relation to time.

What program are you using.

You have done a great job so far! I feel pretty good about this now, except for your face. Wish I could get it better but just too much destroyed information to bring it back.

I just got your request this morning at 6 am. I will need a day or two to fix all the problems I see . It will take hrs to give you a photo that is worthy of reprinting . Tommy

You have to do us all a favor, as you know your head is pretty well beyond hope. Unless you had a light bulb in your ear and happened to be in a bad car accident.

Could you possible find another photo where your about the same age in almost the same pose.

I haven't done a tone adjustment yet. Respectfully Bill

Here is where I am waiting for new head

Very good work on fixing the damage. The groom's face damage is a very tough call. What tool did you use?

I don't know which person your talking to. I used a cut and paste for the wood. and the clone tool, but mostly the Air brush. to repair the damaged areas that were thru out the photo. I can't talk for the others.

I did the face remake as best as I could using my knowledge I have gained restoring pictures for years with out having another photo to go off of . 10 hrs of rework if your curious . If you see something you would like to change , let me know , and I will do my best to do it . Tommy

your welcome . I have converted the photo over to a 8 by 10 if you want a copy that size to print . I had to remove the different colors at the top since I didn't know for sure what caused the colors or what the shape was . Tommy
