Recovering one of my father picture using xara

Using Xara to recover a damaged picture of my dad.

That's brilliant work, Javier.

Maybe you could share your secrets and tell us how you did this amazing work?

Well done Javier! I did some work a while back on some old family photos using Xara and it's quite a bit of work to get the photo to look good but still preserve the look and ambiance of an old photo.

Thank you for your kind comments, Rik, it's almost done using the magic erase tool and some parts were done duplicating the oposite side of the picture, some transparencies and enhanced transparencies, that's all.
As Frances said it's just a lot of patience and work.
Best regards

You know Javier, this might make an interesting tutorial, maybe a good tips and tricks submission to the Xara Xone?

You did a great job on the eyebrows because you had very little reference material for them in the damaged picture. The face looks very natural. Congratulations!

[jvila]

Some subtle adjustments.

BRAVO!

Excellent job! I've been restoring some photos myself, but I don't usually use XDP. I'll have to give it a try.

Very impressive Javier.
