Yeah I kind of agree Chelle, I did like how Doug made it darker, and I was thinking about that today at work, that the original must be faded a lot after this amount of time. And darker is probably how it was originally. I am starting an album with just my restore attempts, before and after. I have some very challenging images that I am working on here. How did I happen to receive this assignment you ask? I did an image for a girl last May before we went on summer hiatus, and well this person saw what I did for her and thought of me when her Mother presented these images to her. I asked her why she thought of me, because in all honesty, the image I did for the girl in May I was not happy with, the original photo was bad off and I literally had to draw in hands and facial features because of the glare from a mirror when the flash went off. Anyway she said she thought of me because she thought I had to be some kind of perfectionist, because I told the girl I still wasn't happy with the image. :-S Me a perfectionist? She has got to be kidding! LOL! Brenda :)
