Photo Repair Project

Another manipulation project for Photoshop II class.
Our professor provided us with the old photograph on
the left and our job was to repair it as best we could.
We were also asked to colorize the girl's dress, which
I did in a very subtle way---it's bluer than the rest, lol.

The entire thing took me about four or five hours to
complete. The hardest part for me was "imagining"
the other half of her dress and making it look natural.
Most of the folds and tears were easy to mend, but
when it came to removing the creases in the far back
by the fencing, I wanted to throw my Mac out the
window. XD It go sooo complicated in those areas.

I really like how it turned out, I thought it would look
hideous initially. The concept itself scared the crap out
of me; there were so many tiny details to pay attention
to, I was so discouraged. But thanks to masking, cloning,
patching, dodging, and burning, I was able to pull it off!

I honestly don't know who owns that photo up there, but
I'm betting it's stock or a personal image of my professor's
if he let us use it. No copyright infringement intended, promise!
