As I continue to explore the tools available in Lightroom and
Photoshop, I decided to rescue this Kodak print image that was in my
Mother's family album, from the 1930s. This covered bridge was about
1/2 mile from the farm where we lived at the time, and I passed
through it on a school bus twice a day. I'm the young fellow in
front, left.

What a great family memory!
'Twere mine, I'd tone down the contrast a little and raise the
shadowed parts of faces.

Binging up the shadows shows the interior and light coming through the
structure, but brings up junk to close out.

Though this appears to be a "studio" photo, restoration was more
difficult because someone had written names on the photo. This shows
my dad, standing tallest, with his parents and siblings. His mother,
on the right, died on his 8th birthday, in 1905.

Looks like a good job.
In case you are interested, the third edition of Ctein's "Digital
Restoration, From Start to Finish" is out, including some new
tricks/techniques he discovered since the last edition.

Best trick? Get your mom to put the negs behind the prints in the
family album. ;-)
