This is a photo of my Great, Great, Great, Grandfather. I would say the mid-1800s. I went through a "box" of photos and found quite a few in bad shape. I did the best I could through Photoshop, almost pixel by pixel. It took me about a month at about two hours a day.

Hi deerpark243. You did a nice job of restoring the old photo. If you wish, I can take the restored photo and colorize it (I use Codijy)....with your approval of course. Do you know what color eyes he had?...if not, just guess.

Thank you, Sure go ahead, no I'm not sure what color his eyes were. I'm curious what the final product will be.

Great job. Did you darken it first or after you restored the photo?

I darkened it First; I found it easier to work on without so much contrast.

Nice work.
I have done some restoration on old photos, some a lot worse than this one. They take a lot of work.
