Photo Restorations & Enhancements
A major rebuild. Reconstructed her dress/arm, his hairline,the jacket, and several of the dollar bills. Time constraints prevented restoring all the dollar bills.
Simple Retouching
After correcting minor water damage the real work started. Most of the far right portion of the costume needed reconstruction. Other portions of the costume were "borrowed" to complete the rebuild.
Lots of squiggles and dots made this mostly a test of patience. All the great color in the final was "hidden" in the original. It just needed to be brought out.
I assumed the house was significant and most of the time spent went into restoring it. Color and tone corrections were pretty straight-forward.
Minor water damage with lots of contrast and color loss.
