In
a top-level ("miracle")
restoration, missing areas of damaged prints can be
recreated, people
can be combined from
multiple prints, backgrounds can be changed and objects removed (which entails
re-creating the occluded part of the scene). Anything
that will require many hours
of
computer time is quoted in this category on an
individual basis that is
realistic for both of us.
In a family
garden, Hue,
Vietnam, 1922.
This customer was from a family whose patriarch had been
elevated
to nobility by the French, but later had to flee the
Communists
under the Americans. The customer wanted to save
their few
surviving photos. The gelatin layer with the reduced-silver
image was flaking off the cardboard.
Multiple shots can sometimes be combined even if a panorama was not intended.

I know I've done a good job cleaning up the resulting panorama, because
most people don't notice the difference !
There were no other photos
of this
couple, and neither of the originals available was a good
photo.
However, restored and combined, they make a good
statement.
The man and his father were victims of the Great Flu Pandemic
of
1918.
