Evaluate my Photoshopping - My Dad and Desiree

[rak sa_ngop]

This is a favourite photo of mine of my Dad with my pet rat Desiree from 35 years ago. As you can see it was the last shot on a roll of film.

I asked a friend to try and repair the affected areas with Photoshop and this is the result.

I think what he did is fantastic, (sorry I don't have the details of what exactly he did).

What do you guys think?

Looks darn good to me... ........oh to have the patience to work with Photoshop!

[gobs]

Wow! Good work indeed.

And a lot of time spent I guess...

I can't imagine doing that myself...

Evaluate your friends photoshopping you mean?

At 1st I thought the overlayed image was some kind of prisoner with a number tatood on their back

Give it a break, I think an excellent job has been done given what they started with.

I hope that my posting the Photoshopped example of a 35 year old flawed photo has given some courage and inspiration to others to touch up their old family photos.

 

For those who are interested, my Photoshop expert took about 3 hours to get the final result.

 

And all it cost me was one bottle of beer ha ha!
