Pretty darn good. You've got a lot more to work with in the second picture, so I'd say you did a great job. In the first, I think because you are trying to clone or piece together large areas, they get muddy. You've lost the detail in the kid's shorts and that is rather glaring unfortunately. His hair looks a bit slicked and overall there is a graininess that is foreign to the film. But given what you had to work with, you did a great job. You might want to consider going back into the first one and trying to build a better pair of shorts! That's the only thing that I find a problem really.
:mrgreen:
Yeah, the first picture I didn't have much to clone, it because tricky, especially the shorts! This work is over a year old now, and looking back, I think I can improve it some more if I wanted. I have a few new techniques I could use to improve the first photograph, although the 2nd, I am not sure what I could bring to improve it.
Quite good, actually. You're in the right direction.
Flaws - yes, there are....
image 1 - the most obvious are the creases and bu7mps in the kid's pants. If you can retain that in , the image will look better. The details of his right knee, as wellDid you intend to turn the guy in the right back into a girl? lol.....
2 image. - the roof in the background, just above the family - something not right with the detail.
Just my 2 sens.
I agree with you. The shorts really let my attempt down. I didn't notice the right knee until you pointed it out to me, thanks for that! lol, the guy in the right! I see what you mean.. nothing a pucker tool cannot sort out
. With the 2nd picture, I agree the roof isn't quite right there. Perhaps one day I will go back and correct this. This picture is actually of my nanny, grandad and mum, they wanted it restored and asked if I could do it for them. They are very happy with it which is all that counts. Thanks very much all for your feedback!
