This photo was a challenge to restore. The photo was covered with scratches, creases, and tears. Using the Clone tool in GIMP, a popular photo editing software, I was able to remove the photo’s imperfections. The Clone tool in GIMP allows you to sample a specific portion in the photo and duplicate that portion elsewhere in the photo. You can simply think of it as a copy tool, copying portions of the photo from one place to another. I was able to take existing portions of the photo and copy them directly over the imperfections (scratches, creases, and tears). While the photo may not look exactly like it did in April of 1965, it is pretty close. If you would like your old photos restored to their original quality, contact Adam Ham for an estimate.
