Digitally Restoring Prints

Before and AfterRetouching
Written By Faith Through Fotos

The more I work with retouching, the more I realize that I can't get enough of it! So when my uncle asked me to scan and restore a W. Haskell Coffin print that he had, I was up for the challenge.  I've never retouched an old photograph or other type of print, so I had to take what I knew about retouching regular portraits and use it to digitally restore this print.

Here are the before and after looks with 4 hours of retouching this beaut.
