I did half the work in photoshop and half in pse. Still work to do on the jacket- that will involve adjustment layers to even out the blotching.
I still need to take care of the nose-- I would use the airbrush to do that, Try it with a really low opacity-- around 20 our so. Use the eye dropper to pick a color near the nose then use the air brush.
I selected the subject, inverterd that and added a gaussian blur to even out the background.
A close up of the work on the nose done with the airbrush tool. Almost can't tell it's been edited, and those are allways the best ones- the ones where you can't quite tell.
She needed a new dress to fit the style of the picture. I used the generative fill feature (only in photoshop) to replace the jacket with a 50's style dress.
Glenn has done a great job with the restoration. Solely as a matter of personal preference, I would add some texture back into the image to remove the airbrush look. But perhaps we all want to remember our mothers as perfect, so you may prefer that look. 😇
Here, I used the Filter>Noise>Add Noise command:
If youi don't want Mom in a new AI dress, try selecting, copying and mirroring the left side of the jacket and place it over the right side. With a little cloning and spot healing, and a better tailor than me, you can get something like this:
You've done a good job. Here is something else you can do that I believe will improve the end result and hide the difference in skin tones on the forehead.
- Open the image
- Press Ctrl+J. This will copy the image to a new layer.
- Change the Blend Mode of the new layer to Screen
Here is the result:
And if you want some, hopefully constructive, criticism. There is still a scratch on the forehead that can be fixed with the Spot Healing Brush. You might also try the Healing Brush to clone the skin to even it out. That's a little tedious. But it's your photo and your mother. So the end result has to satisy you.
