This is a work in progress. I am restoring an heirloom picture. The picture (on left) is from the 1940's and has many defects, with parts of the surface having scaled off. Because of the age, it might have been a B&W picture that was manually colorized. This is actually a picture of the picture which was still behind glass and hanging on the wall, so there are reflections.
So far, my strategy is to select an area using ellipse with feathered edges, copy it, and then paste it and move to the correct spot. And some spots were to take a sample of the color and to use a small paint brush.
I am having problems with the nose. It is hard to get it just right because of the shades of light and different skin tones due to contour of the nose. I think there should be a catalog of noses so that I can just superimpose a good nose there.
Any suggestions / comments on how to do the nose?
