One of my hobbies

Thought I'd share one of my hobbies with yall.
Now, this is my first real fixer upper. I took my aunts pic, from 1955, and it was crumpled, torn and missing body parts, LOL! I fixed it up for her Birthday present.
Before:

After:

If this works, LOL!

Wow, great recovery!

Thanks, Sugar Plum! I was really worried I couldn't do it, that picture was gone!! I had to make a new foot, shoulder and well, the whole right side of the pic, LOL!! I also had to take her signature off of her head, LOL!!!
It was fun though, and what a feeling of accomplishment when I finished!!

Thanks sweets! She did love it. I made 1 8x10 and framed it, then I made a birthday card with the "after" pic on the front. She cried, I love that, LOL!!

That is great work......Do you use a program? Do you mind sharing how you do it? I have many old pics I would love to restore.

I used Adobe Photodeluxe (that is now gone ) and also Livepix. Both programs are very old and I'm hoping to get new ones soon.
I pretty much winged it because it was my first one, but I'll try to answer any questions you have! And don't forget, -=d=-'s an expert

One of my hobbies is making chainmail armor. I dont do Ren fairs or anything like that; I just like making armor. I call it "knitting for men". Good therapy for us old baby killers.

By the way...great job on the photo restoration.

Takes a long time to make armor, even for a kid.
