Well.. I promiced you all more, so here it is.
This was a hard one to do, for some obvious reasons, so I'm interested in what you think about it. I don't know his name, its been lost, only that he has a truely special beard, and that this photo was taken around 1820 or so.
Would be interesting to find out who this was, really should do in a way. Some time I'll work out a pictorial family tree or something. Oh, by the way, the guy before? He was my great-grand-father not uncle! More of a direct relation than I thought, got kind of confused after viewing so many different photos of people.
Anyhow, so there you go.. this is the earliest photo I have, what do you think?

To forget one’s ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root.

The toughest part was prolly the huge ass scratch there... right pain.
And I'm super impressed with your photoshop skills... :)
I hope I have honed my computer skills adequately to do a similar project when my grandmother hands over the photo catalog to me. While I may not get much in the way of furniture or jewelry, I am getting the things that matter most to me; books, victrola records (and the victrola) photos and the biggest box of vintage Valentines I have ever seen!
Also, snapshots and layers will help you, so if you screw up its easy to undo.
The scratch in the left had almost completely removed the image underneath so I had to construct it using a lot of educated guesswork.
Bringing out the detail is a matter of some level adjusting and subtle sharpening.
WHOO! COOL!
see how good that feels? ;)
If you want help with genealogy, lemme know. I'm back to 1690 on one branch of my family.
And yeah.. I've been thinking about asking you to help and stuff, I'll prolly wait till I'm done with the photos tho. My dad is also totally useless when it comes to info >_
