Another repair to an old tin type in my collection. Doesn't look like too much work, but it was lots of little white dots to remove and an eye to repair. The corners that were cut, well they aren't perfect. You can tell that it's a repair when comparing it to the rocks in the corners of the first picture, but not too bad when see alone.
Need to dive into the instructions for my Serif Photo Plus X2 software again. I figured out that I can adjust a portion of the photo by drawing a line separating where I want to adjust the image, but it only adjusts the bottom portion. Sadly I was hoping to adjust the contrast to the TOP portion of the photo. Oh well. For now this is what I've got!
UPDATE: Well this post at least reminds me that I used something called Serif Photo Plus X2 to do the photo edits on my old blog. I hope to do a re-edit with Photoshop, but I'd like to get a better scan of the tin type first. Unfortunately my mom had a problem locating the album this was in when I was home working away on my scanner, but she's promised to keep looking and next year my scanner and I will return!
Another thing I noticed when looking at the images is that it would appear that the tall gentleman in the back has a bandage on his hand. It could be something else, but that's what popped into my head when I saw it. Hopefully that better resolution will help.
