This restoration started with this scanned negative. The negative was a modern 120 negative taken of a very damaged photo that was originally printed in approximately 1897. The orginal photo was extremely mildewed but otherwise was in pretty good shape as far as other damage. I studied this photo for quite some time before deciding on a plan of attack in CS3.
I decided to create a completely new graduated background, which involved matching the grain and focus of the original photo. After the restoration was complete, I added a film grain filter to sharpen the entire photo.
