I’ve gone over to the dark side. No, not really, I dont plan on making all my photos look artificial. It’s not my style but it does allow from some editing that I might not have done before. I’ve also been trying my hand at repairing an old family photo.
It was pretty badly damaged when I scanned it in at college nearly a year ago as part of my beginners night course. I managed to do most of the repair work in an evening but didn’t have the confidence then to repair the faces. The image on the left is how I left it after that session and, eventually, with the house move the original went into storage so I can’t even start it again just now. On the right is the best I can do at the moment to bring it back. The faces trouble me but I’ll keep practicing.
It’s not all restoration….. I had a bit of fun while I was practicing. Poor Frankie is the terror of the Tenerife roads.
