This photo restoration is stunning to say the least. Scott was able to enhance an older moment in time, while still keeping the integrity of the memory intact. Getting rid of the tear going straight through the middle of the photo was the biggest eye sore to take care of, and Scott did it flawlessly. There's no trace of the tear ever being there, and now we can see the little kids face clearly.  The weird white smudges on the photo were also a much unwanted element, Scott smoothed it out completely while still keeping the pattern of the house the same and saving the father's face. After a little work with levels and shadows/highlights, this photo was given new life after the washed gray scheme of the old photo was replaced by the more eye-catching and satisfying combination of whites, blacks and grays in the newly restored photo.
