I am going to Photoshop World in Las Vegas next month and they have this contest called, “The Guru Contest.” I entered into the category Photo Restoration with this photo. Next time I will post the second photo I used.
This was my first time doing this type of Photoshop work before, but I think it turned out really well. Every kind of portrait enhancement technique I know was required for this to come about. Total completion time was about 5 hours.

Amazing work with the restoration, Dustin. I love the way you added the old school colors. Very realistic.
ya it looks great!
