    Exposure Problem

    John, Thanks again for your suggestions. I finally found a way to eliminate most of the expoaure problem by using a technique I found in a PS Restoration & Retouching book (3rd edition) by Katrin Eismann & Wayne Palmer. Their technique adds a Curves adjustment layer with no adjustments and...

    Thanks, John. Yes, the original looks the same as what I posted. I tried the dehaze and clarity sliders in CR but didn't do much.

    Badly Damaged Photo

    Thanks, iLLuSioN. Which AI image sharpener software did you use? Remini did a good job with the faces. I usually use Remini as a last step to see if I can improve faces. Someyimes it does a good job and other times not so good.

    Thanks , John. I've been working on the photo trying different things. Below is what I was able to do. I'll start over again and try your techniques and see if I can improve what I've done so far- try to get more detail in lower part of photo. Did a B&W and a Sepia tone.

    Badly Damaged Photo

    Good work, Hawkeye! Would you mind sharing the order of the adjustment layers you used and at what opacities? Did you apply the adjustment to the entire image or only selected parts of the image? I would love to become proficient like this.

    Remove haziness

    Thanks, John. I scanned this a few years ago before I had any lnowledge about scanning techniques. I don't remember the condition of the print which my cousin has. I guess I should try to get his family album again and re-scan the photos now that I know more about how to properly scan photos.

    WOW, Chris. This is great. Did you have another photo you borrowed the clothes from or is there a site that has stock images? I'll share your version with my friend. I think she will like it. I tried to restore the original by rescanning at 1,200 dpi in Tiff format twice - rotating...
