Blahman, can you do a good restoration on this photo?

hows this
 

I did the best I could perhaps someone could do better all I ask is you tell me more about who she is private email please

It's his wife

Fla is right, it is my wife. I was hoping I could get a few good attempts at cleaning that scanned photo, Any kind of photoshop would be appreciated as well.

Bigi, thank you. Its an honour,

I gave it a shot, but this is a tough one.

Its a tough one for some reason, I cant get rid of the grainy look.

Can you turn and improve her in this photo?

Blah's Attempt
 

Sorry Fritzyy it took so long. I've been busy at my job all week so here is my attempt. I used mostly the "Gaussian Blur" from the "Blur" filter to get rid of most of the specks. I used a weak blur on the cmyk channel which is all four channel selected at the same time on the channel pallet and a stronger blur on only the cyan, magenta, and yellow channels. I also with the Lasso tool to select certain areas of the image that need work and applied a stronger blur on the main channel (cmyk) and indeviduel channels (cyan), (magenta), and (yellow). I've also used other filters such as "Dust & Speaks" on the "Noise" filter. After cleaning up the Image I applied a "Unsharp Mask" to give the image more depth after bluring it so much. I'm not good at interpreting things or at spelling so this is my best explaination.

A good way to decrease graininess is to reduce size. After all what's the point of a pic too big to fit on the screen?

old album
 

anybody for this old pics? :) :) ;)

Color corrected, graininess reduced, focused and lighted correctly, spots fixed

Blahman, thanks. That retouch looks great.

Bigi, thanks for the hot tip on graininess.

It was really challenging to restore this picture not to mention I used every Blur, Noise Filter as possible to get rid of the speaks. But it was a rewarding experience since I learned from my mistakes. It took me 2 hours and several attempts to clean it up I pretty much used the same techniques from my previous post.

It's been a long time since I posted. Here's my cotribution for today it took nearly 3hrs to complete. Most time spent trying to remove to speaks and at the same time not destroying the image which takes a lot of patience and discipline and espeacialy experience.

Here is todays contribution

Blahman, you do great work. I hope you keep on posting.

Fritzy - how is this?
 

before and after

I know I'm not fritzzy but your restoration looks even better then mines.

Blahman, carry on with this thread please.

How many can try improving this one?

Here it is fritzyy. I sure do appriciate your support and giving me some of your pictures from your collection to restore, cause thats what I love to do more then anything. I also posted a couple of my pics from my personal collection and restorted and deleted the backgroud using various techniques such as layer masks, paths, selections, etc. Sorry shaved lovers but I prefer Natural bush........

These may e tough. Erly digital

BiBi, thanks for the attmpt. There is some artistic merit in your woork.

Loop, great job thank you. How about the other ones?

Bigi, how old is the pic?.....do you see the stubby beer bottle????

What's your technique, I use the Median, Dust&Scratchs, and Gaussian Blur filters. Is there any other filters you recommend for getting rid of noise and spots.
