    Yeah it would take out anything given enough time, post the picture up and I am sure somebody will give it a go or at least give you some idea of how much it can be improved

    hi guys
    i had posted pictures to another site
    and they were "fixed" for me fantastically
    i wanted to have a go at it myself to see if i could do as good a job
    but needed to know what would be the ideal programs to use

    Have you never seen melekalikimaka's restoration work with MS Paint? The man works miracles with that program. The photos always turn out great. I don't know how he does it.

    OP, post up a link to a photo and we'll be better able to advise you.

    I have not... but the thought that anyone could actually do any actual work of any kind with ms-paint.. is pretty scary.

    Holy crap!

    That's pretty amazing for something done in ms-paint. Truly amazing that you can make such an awful program do that much. Kudos! =D

    I've taken a stab it in in GIMP. (starting from the damaged.. I didn't cheat like I could have.) His forehead came out looking like a clearasil ad.. and I think your hair looks better by miles! It's strange how much lower on his head his left ear is than his right.

    I used to do restores all the time in Photoshop 6 & Photoshop 7.. haven't looked at one in AGES!
