Converting orphan Annie eyes to real eyes


Recommended Posts

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.

That's odd. I would do the same thing. What no mask?  :D

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.

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.

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 B|.

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.
