The amount of physical damage repaired is amazing. That alone gets you high marks in my book. Great job. The balance of colors could use a little work, I think. Still, better than I could do. Reply »

I definitely agree with Chaplain.. great job repairing the image, but the colours look very unnatural, perhaps a darker shade of that orange. Reply »

I disagree, this is a very 70's looking photo...........almost polaroid, the colors in those things were quite strange at the best of times. Reply »

That the 70s were strange is most likely but for some reason I also expect a bit more contrast. What if you add a solid black layer with blending overlay (and perhaps some opacity)? THe photorepair looks good! Good luck! Reply »

This looks more like the colorizing of the 30's-40's style pictures. Look at the mom dad entry for the 70's coloring. Reply »
