bbrocks214 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I have an old photo that I am trying to restore but the eyes on one of the subject literally look like orphan Annie eyes with no distinguishable pupil, iris or eye color. How can I create an eye in Affinity Photo? Is this even possible.The subject in the attached picture is the one knelling on the far left. Should be obvious. Appreciate any advice available.

JimmyJack Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I sincerely hope you still have those Jaguars!! Gotta be late 60's right? As far as the eyes go, I'd pirate the eyes from the other guitarist. I added a levels adj, and set the layer to darken.

toltec Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 That's odd. I would do the same thing. What no mask? bbrocks214 Apply the cloned eyes to a new pixel layer above the background. That way you can move them and they wont destroy the original. You will have to set the clone Source to Current Layer and Below. Because the boys eyes are a bit smaller, you could clone at about 120% scale All settings are on on the context menu. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

gdenby Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 You got me beat. FWIW, that's the worst digital image I've ever worked with. How it came to be? Badly scanned half tone printed image, printed from a bad photo, maybe.

FWIW, that's the worst digital image I've ever worked with. All the more reason why it's advisable to find replacement parts from the image itself. That way one doesn't need to try and match imagery coming from a different source to the overall image quality. Yeah, looks like a scan/photo of a printed piece. A little too tight to be a newspaper, so I'm going with.... a yearbook . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbrocks214 Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 The photo was probably from an instamatic taken about 43 years ago and found still hanging in the original place I played in when I was in high school. It was a summer community center in Webster, MA. Thanks JimmyJack, your rendering really looks super to me. Unfortunately I do not have the Jaguar anymore and my buddy has long since given up playing guitar, by the way that's a Jazzmaster. It had a great sound back then, much better than the Jaguar did. I'm playing a Strat these days. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
