Here is a photo I recently restored that at first glance didn't look so bad. It was a small photo, only a couple of inches tall. But when I blew it up I could see that it had thousands of tiny cracks in it. After several attempts at more automated methods, it seemed that the only option was painting them out one at a time. I used the new photoshop AI powered “remove tool”, which honestly works like magic. But even with that, this was an extremely time consuming job, and it came along the same week that my son was born. After weeks of burning the candle at both ends, I’m very happy with the result. The photo is of father and son taken in the early 1960s in Beachside, NL. A truly one-of-a-kind picture.
