Enhancement vs Restoration

three and a car orig

This is a tiny 2.5 X 3.5 inch photograph. Just enlarging it rescues some of the image. But there are still things missing. So eliminating the yellowed white parts and replacing the lost contrast tells a better story.

Now many details lost in time are revealed. three and a car

    Well worth the time and effort. Almost faded from history. Very dapper looking people.

    Thanks very much. I only do this to the badly faded ones. It is pretty easy to do actually. Photoshop does all the work. Some photographs don't improve much but many have some surprises.
