# Oooh
Not bad, not bad.

But what would you have done if the area that was watermarked and peeling had been on building, not sky?

# nice job!
my hardest case of photo restoration:

Polaroid print of the '70s, kept in a wallet and therefore scratched, dusty etc.

After many tests, the best technique (although a little bit daring) was to drop some water on the scanner and put the photo on it.

A flat weight on the photo squeezed most of the water out, leaving enough to do a thin film betweem the glass and the plastinc film covering the photo.

the wet effect almost completely "removed" all those sratches that were on the photo, with an effect far better that I could ever hope doing with photoshop.

and (to my surprise) the photo was not daamged at all by the process!

you are brave! That's the kind of thing I would do if the photo was mine. Knowing my luck, if I tried that with someone elses, it would fall apart haha
