Reviving Old Photos

Don't get me wrong I love the retro look of aging photos, but sometimes it's good
to revive them a bit to get some of the color and original feelings of the shot.

The same post production tools that we are going to use in the upcoming class can
be used to revive old photos.

The picture of the "Do's and Don'ts" that I got from Corbin Booth yesterday for the photo
quiz is a good example of reviving a photograph.  The 40 year old picture had faded enhancing the red dyes the most - that's normal, also at one time it had been hung on a bulletin board or similar and had a tack hole at the top.

Below is a before and after

I just thought I'd share, thanks.
