A
straightforward restoration in honor of Mother's Day.
A lot of the damage was in the blue channel, so I used
the Channel Mixer to combine the red and green channels
in a new monotone image. After cropping the right edge,
I selected and blurred the background to eliminate remaining
damage and spots, then added some noise back in. Tried
out two new plug-ins: Neat Image and Focus Magic to clean
up and sharpen the image. Cloning and spot healing brush
cleaned up some damage and mildew. The sepia color is
a layer style.
