Photo Restoration Project - Golden Earrings
CLICK on photo to enlarge. Working on a photo restoration for my dad.  This is a picture of my mom  taken in 1948 entitled "Golden Earrings." Any comments, critiques,  suggestions welcome. I'm just trying to restore it, I don't want to  repaint it if possible. Mostly using layer masks and when I first  started, I used the color balance tool to take out all the sepia and get  down to the remaining color that was left.  I redrew her eyes from  scratch and I also drew in the earrings and used a layer opacity on  them.  I've also been using the spot healing tool to remove all the  scratches and marks. The right side of her face looks like she's  smeared with dirt though.  I need to clean that up somehow.  The shadow  just isn't quite right. Comments? Suggestions? Critiques?
