Scanning some old 35mm negatives into the computer, converting to digital. Can this one be fixed? Thanks for the help

IF you were a PS wizard/master I'm sure it could be fixed with a lot of cloning and rebuilding of missing information. I sadly am not such a wizard.
It does need to be flipped "Goodyear" is backwards, I COULD do that ;)

The first thing is what editing software do you have. If you have cs4 go to levels and see if you can get rid of the white patch and yes turn it around the image. If you adjust or dampen the glare that is on the tire the people may be a little bit crisper. If you go to the layers part of the image try and turn each layer on and off to see if that helps you out. It is worth a try it looks like it holds a lot of memories for you.

Thanks for the replies. As for the memories, yes they are very special. I have downloaded gimp for editing but, I have never used it and have no idea where to start.

Do you have some information that you can read over about the program that you have. Find out everything you can about it. Make sure you make a few copy's before you start working on the image. Make your editing decisions with your head not your heart. A trick you might want to try is turn one of the copy's upside down. Look at it that way because you will be using the right side of your brain and the right side of your brain will help you spot any problems if there are any. That way you can compare the differences when you are done. If it just doesn't look right when it is up side down look at the image in sections(a block grid) to help you spot any problems. When you have worked out the problems upside down turn it right side up and compare it to one that you haven't worked on. You will see small differences at first but as you look at it the improvements will stand out.

I never used a small format film scanner but I would guess theres a small piece of maybe white paper stuck inside the scanner somewhere.
You get the same sort of problem on a regular xerox machine sometimes.

The flair is a reflection from the glossy side of your negative. If you flip the film so emulsion side is down, you reduce the reflection and correct the reverse image.

No I haven't done anything. I have been waiting on those with more knowledge than myself to share and offer suggestions.
