I started doing freelance photo restorations in 2003 and continue to do them when I am in between jobs or need extra income. Restorations is what got me interested in Graphic Design in the first place.
I wanted to colorize the plane photo without making it look too fresh. I used the water color brush tool to get this effect. CS4s new clone stamp preview option is very helpful in this project.
When I originally saw this photo I was pretty excited to get to work on it. I enjoy working on photos that are this heavily damaged. Watching the image come to life as I progress is really interesting to see.
Old Photographs are very important to the memories of the people in them. Restoring old photographs makes me feel as if I am helping to restore old memories. I think that is why I like it so much.

The cracks, water damage and ink on the photo are sometimes pretty easy to fix , but other times they come across someones face and it becomes a bit more tricky to fix. Seeing the finished product after coming across these challenges gives me an accomplished feeling.
