Many of us have shoeboxes or old albums full of old images that beg to see the light of day.  They capture family history, and are priceless memories that should be preserved.  Unfortunately, time can be cruel to these old photographs, but it is amazing what digital restoration can accomplish.   I enjoy restoring old photographs perhaps better than enhancing new ones - some restorations can be extremely difficult, but the rewards of a successful restoration is priceless ..

In this case, the original was still pretty sharp .. all that was required was a little 'cleaning', and a little contrast boost.

Badly faded, the photo's surface was degrading as evidenced by the 'spotty' appearance.

.. this one was a real problem, since almost 50% of the image was torn off, plus it was faded and dirty. You have to wonder who/what 'disappeared' ..

Another 'puzzle' picture, this required the invention of the plane's wing, carrier deck, and the trailing ocean .. a fun project.
