I had a little over 2 1/2 hours total in it, but it's some of the best PS hands-on training you can find. You have to develop a Bulldog attitude, get your teeth into it and just keep trying new things until you get there, without giving up.

Brad... would you mind posting some of your workflow on this? I would love to get some idea of how you accomplished this restoriation. Really excellent job!

Thans all,
There is no way a workflow from memory could be written. Hundreds of steps involved and a couple hours into it, with a lot of Ctrl-Alt-Z's involved.
;)
Basically broke the image down into three sections, top (good section), middle (problem banding area) and bottom (dark section).
Made a new layer via copy, then dragged a box around one section, with a feather of about 20 pixels and started playing with it. One step directs me to the next, depending on what the results were. When ok with change, would use a soft brush eraser and erase easy-like near the edge to help the blend into the underlaying pixels. Sometimes will over-do a process, and tehn edit, fade, and adjust while watching the screen carefully for the subtle changes to blend seamlessly, then flattened.
A lot of cloning was done in about 30% opacity to make changes slowly. At times, a new layer was made, an area selected with lasso tool like a set of legs, then adjusted levels, shades, contrast, brightness, etc, then deselect and erase up close to the edges so only the legs were affected, then flattened. Some use of healing tool used for specs.
One of these days I'll learn (or want to learn) layer masks and dodge & burning - probably would speed things up. as it is now, and am sure as with most, the schooling in PS is all self-taught and trial by error. |
