zelensky Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 This a very rare photo of my ancestors. I am a newbie with affinity. I would appreciate anyone who can restore this photo for me? Could be a challenging task. Thank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I had a few attempts at improving this image but this is as far as I got. Not an impressive result by any measure but there’s not a whole lot to start with. I feel sure that one of the experts should be able to come up with something better.

zelensky Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 wow. Looks much better already. I really really appreciate your effort. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 You’re welcome, but I’m sure other people can do better. P.S. The image I attached was not full-size. I deliberately kept it low-res as I don’t consider it to be a good result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I would appreciate the method others may use to improve the photo. Hats off to anyone that post procedures used to modify original photo.

Bruce Harms Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Sorry about that guys... Let me try and zip it Patrick Connor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Thought I would give this a shot too! As the image is relatively small you soon get into the realms of guessing when it comes to repairing the damaged areas. So I wouldn’t want to go much beyond this. Having a good scan to start with really dose make a difference when repairing photos. I probably would have scared this at least at 1200dpi rather than the 96dpi that it is and output it as a TIFF file. Still, it was fun to do.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted March 12, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 12, 2020 @castabal could you try linking to a shared dropbox/onedrive or zipping up and attaching the original TIFF file that failed yesterday, if it was higher res?

Bruce Harms Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hey Mark, that's looking pretty AWESOME! Just for experimentation sake i added the file in dropbox that has some of the characters kind of separated but you did most excellent job already. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xdyl9hcxayak9dv/family.afphoto?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think clone/stamp tool could help removed additional lines. Huion Inspiroy Q11K V2 arriving tomorrow, I’ll play with it, no way with a mouse. I just hope tablet will work Ok with macOS Catalina and Huion driver.

VectorWhiz Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I usually work with vectors, but I thought I'd give it a go. It was challenging and far from perfect, but I enjoyed fiddling with this pixel image.
