This is a sample of my restoration work to preserve this photo and many others on my WEB site using Micrografx Picture Publisher software. The program was fairly new to me when I worked on this photo, and it took me about 81/2 hours to complete. Needless to say, it doesn't take me that long anymore to restore my family photos. Practice makes perfect and I'm getting a lot of practice. The original photo, which I scanned, is a about a third smaller than the picture on the right. |
