Genealogy Photos
This old photo from 1910 belongs to AlexR, and is part of a genealogic research that he is working on. The man portrayed in the photo is AlexR's great grandfather.
AlexR asked us if we could repair the picture for him. He was not very precise in his request because he didn't know exactly what could be done to the image. He wanted only to improve it. So he wrote "I leave it to you to decide what to do." And sometimes that's enough for us.
The image had a very poor quality, it was faded and had markings on it. The background was also very ugly.
We started with a "clean-up" of the background. Thereafter the color was changed, and on top we added some filters. That's for the background.
Then we proceeded with the marks in the face, and the strong light on the mans forehead. To get an even color all over the image, we desaturated it; then we added a Sepia toning. Afterwards we improved the brightness, the hue, and the saturation.
Since AlexR didn't give us any instructions about how he wanted the final result, we made two versions so he could choose the one he liked best.
AlexR has also been so kind to allow us to republish the "remake" that we had done with his great grandfather.

I am so glad that you republished the photo on your site! Gosh! what do you think my great grandfather would have said if he knew that he had his photo on the INTERNET!
Let me also thank Lucullus: I followed his advice to submit the photo, and then read the tutorial in the FAQ... it was as easy as pie.
Finally: thank you for the work you did. I am really happy with the restoration. I didn’t think that you could save it like you did. Now I will print it and put it in my genealogy scrap-book.
