| | Posted: | | | | Photoshop Elements is your friend here. I'm definitely not reall accustomed to it yet, but this is what I achieved with a few clicks (scratch-removal)  | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | If you would provide me with some Hi-Res scans (1200 dpi) in an uncompressed format (bmp or RAW) I'd see what I can do (Pic 2 will be a tough one though, since there really is not much left to repair from). | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | Nice job Lewis_Prothero. As an idea for the other one: suppose you carve an outline around the person and forget about trying to restore the outer, virtually blank, portion? Would that make the task sort of doable? | | | Thanks for your support.

Unfortunately all I have is what my brother sent me... which is exactly what I uploaded here. I can ask him if he has it any other way... but I kinda doubt it. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm on my way with the lady. Just wish it would have at least been avoided to spill coffee and lipstick. Here's what I achieved so far. So after the scratches are removed I will really have a hard time to recover the details. Is the 1200 dpi scan possible? It would help a lot.  | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
