Restoring Vintage Photos--Fun and Amazing

So, I have been taking a photo editing class online that teaches how to restore vintage photos! I loved the class and enjoyed the instructor a lot!! Jessica Sprague is a fantastic teacher!! She creates videos so you can watch how she does something, pause it and then go do it on our own. Jessica taught us by using her photos and then I tried my new skills on my own photos. Here is the first one I tried. BEFORE

AFTER

When I told my dad about my new skills, he sent me this photo that he had hanging in his shop for .... a long time. He challenged me to see what I could do with it. It was pretty hard editing so many things, but I think it turned out pretty darn good. Dad, what do you think??

I'm glad to see you're still visiting Jessica. I have yet to do it :(. BTW I found out the other day how to really say her last name. I used to pronounce it sprog (rhymes with frog) but you really pronounce it sprig (rhymes with twig). Who knew?

Boy, you are fantastic. I can't believe that you could rejuvinate that photo of yourself that I have had hanging in my shop for the past 30 plus years. Wow. We really like it.
Love, Dad
