Photo Restoration 1

1. As the artist of this piece, what was your main objective?

My main objective was to make the picture seem as if it was taken yesterday. I put a cool blue tone on the picture to make it seem modern.

2. What tools did we primarily use for this project?

I used the spot healing brush, healing brush, patch tool, polygonal lasso tool, and clone stamp tool for this project.

3. What were some of the challenges you faced during this project?

As you can see in the before picture, I faced multiple challenges in restoring this photo. These challenges include the big rips in the middle of the photo, the rusty color, and the rip on the arm of my mom (not sure if that's her) on the left.

4. If you worked on more than one photo, how did you approach them differently? Did you have to use different techniques? Was one restoration more challenging than the other? Why?

The other picture that I am currently restoring only has a few folds in it and some letters that need to be replaced, while this picture was a lot more complex to restore with all of its problems.

5. The goal of photo restoration is to not “overdo” it. Do you think you succeeded in making your corrections look natural?

I think I succeeded in making the corrections look natural because in my opinion, after I restored the photo, you cannot tell that there were any rips in the photo, or that the picture was a rusty color to being with. Also, with the arm that had a rip on it, I replaced it with another arm in the picture, and I think the looks natural.
