I recently did some volunteer work for the DUP (Daughters of Utah Pioneers). There were 3 photos, but two were especially difficult, which I am posting here. This first one didn't have too much damage, except for a tear right along the center of the face, which with the light hitting it, made it even worse. I used some different techniques and tried to recreate how the face probably would have looked.
The second photo I worked on had a lot of scratches on it. But what made it even worse was the fact that the picture had some damage that prevented it from being taken out of the frame. So I had to remove both the scratches and the reflection in the photo.
