Photo Manipulation Workshop | Contest part I

[novocaine]

So the task for this first contest is to restore this old photo.. make it look like a new one, remove the scratches & stuff.. and it would be a good ideea to give it some color
Deadline: 5days, then i have another picture for you, after that, we will move on to more complicated and creative stuff

here is the pic:

Have fun and if you have a better one (more scratches on it.. please post and we can change this one)
The image for the next context looks really bad so this is kinda like a test

 

[novocaine]

nobody.. if you don't like the subject of the contest i will delete this thread

I like the idea, it's just that I have absolutely ZERO knowledge in that arena.

You're going to find, and I'm basing this on some of the work I've seen you do, you're in a class all by yourself.

Here's mine (reduced in size to avoid sideways scrolling)...

But seriously, this is all I've had time for. Bizarre that the whites look blue!

Well, actually now they don't due to the blue of the forum! :roll:

Probably the influence of the yellows in the sepia...
