Here is an image from my archives, this image was in fairly bad shape as it was not stored properly. Without thinking, it was stored in my garage before it was stored in my basement. Since the negatives are made from dyes and gelatin, they can get moldy and have things grow on them. Well I scanned the negs and cleaned up the images as much as I could. Then I color corrected them, cropped them and took out all the things that were growing on them, I love photoshop. Then I applied some of my magic to make the images look real nice and dreamy. This image is of a young lady the used to work for my brother and me, around 1979. I hope she still looks this good now, well one never knows. I think she became a model. She was a very nice lady. We lost touch with her, but that’s life. Anyway, here is the portrait that I repaired and made it look like a painting, well at least I hope I did.
Let me know if I have succeeded.
She is beautiful Horst. You did a wonderful job on the photo. I hope you are getting better since your surgery... hugs Doris Ann
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely did!
ReplyDeleteThis photo looks great. A bit like a dream. Regards / Peter.
ReplyDeleteCrikey, but that photo / painting 'speaks' volumes. Well it does to me anyway because it is inspiring me to want to write some words. Not sure what words, just feel drawn into the picture.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, in case you don't read the follow up comments on my blog....Cod Liver Oil, in liquid not capsule form, two tablespoonfuls, can be mixed with milk or other liquid but not the hard stuff as in whiskey or some such, straight down as soon as you get up, while your tummy is empty. It really does work.
I think you succeeded very well Horst.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful picture of an equally beautiful young woman.
I bet she'd love this if she could see it.
Very beautiful! Great work!
ReplyDeleteOhh, yes you succeeded so wonderfully. This beautiful art work is outstanding. What i like the most that it's so delicate and so gentle art.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful and beautiful. Love this art so much.
I love this one Horst!
ReplyDeleteYou have definitely succeeded!
Beautiful Horst! Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Horst what a grand job well done. Sheila (Catches the Eye)
ReplyDeleteIt looks very much like a painting to me. A very beautiful shot. I can see why you wanted to restore it.
ReplyDeleteJust found this post Horst... she is a beauty.
ReplyDeletestunning. I am glad you found this old neg. Pity you can't find her and send it to her. I like the painted effect.
