Terry's rendition is my favorite. Excellent removal of burnishing and glare. I like the sepia tone (authentic) but I messed with it anyway. Take your pick, download, print, and frame it! Great old image!

The revolver on the left seems sharper in Sippyjug's and R.G's versions, but I like the colorized version a whole lot.

Problem is texture on paper plus a curl.
Scanning may help, if you can get your hands on it may be multiple shots at different light angles.
Have some on textured paper even with flat bed scanner pattern persists, may be use descreening on scan?

I got this photo of my grandfather, sitting on right, taken in Mexico where he grew up.
My cousin didn't do too well copying it.
For those who have developed amazing skills with PS is there a way to remove the reflection of light in the bottom corner?
I tried with PSE but I can't fix it.
PS the revolver he is holding I got from my father.
Thx


Generative fill in PS will handle a little. Two quick and dirties,the second run through NIK

@terry Mc
That is a great job, it looks quite natural, lots of old pix had sharpness fall off. Great Job
