Water damaged

[rassilon]

I have a picture from a a lady at my church that is the only picture she has left of her father and it was damaged in hurricane Katrina. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Without knowing what he looks like, it is possible to fit but it would be a guessing game to get it right

Not promising anything, but I'll give it a go.

Not promising anything, but I'll give it a go.

Without asking if he has another image with the guy on the left or if he can produce a better scan with more filth removed? Photos like these often have a serious emotional value. Would you like to have one of your beloved ones look like he had a bad face-lift?

Oh your a good one, nice knowing you...

I had the same thoughts as Novo, (minus the taken aback factor)

It seems as though parts of the left guy would need to be digitally painted in which you probably know will be difficult unless you had a picture of the guy.

However, rassilon says the women wants the picture fixed based on it being the last picture of her father who I'm guessing is the old dude ;) If all else fails, you could always just crop him and removed some of those flecks pretty easily.

Well it might not be perfect, but I said I would have a go.

Not a bad face lift after all!

Hi Spruce, no matter what some of the above posters say if I sent the original photo and got this back I would be happy (especially gratis!!!) Well done in my opinion.

Ditto that comment Webwize, nice one Spruce.
