Fixing the Past

I haven't done too much photo restoration lately, and, in point of fact, I have never done enough to become proficient, but here is a recent scan of Cuppa sitting on Santa's lap in the early fifties.

Christmas Past

And here's my attempt at restoration.

Christmas Past

I did this for her birthday, just last week. I had greater ambitions, perhaps a collage, but when push came to shove, this is the only photo that I got scanned and fixed.

Very nice job Anvil. Cuppa's a real cutie and that is a very realistic Santa.

I do a lot of that, too. Have you tried the new "content aware" fill in/healing brush in Photoshop? AWESOME.

I'm not too sure what you mean, Holly. I see a Spot Healing Brush and a Healing Brush Tool.
