Having old photographs restored is a service that many residents in China can’t afford, but a 76-year-old man named Baojun Yuan is doing his part to help his fellow citizens by offering his astonishing Photoshop talents free of charge. After learning how to use the program when he was 60 years old, Yuan purchased a computer and scanner, and has fixed more than 2,000 photographs. He says, “my teacher just taught me how to repair the photos, but he forgot to tell me how to charge.”

Some samples of his work;

Very impressive talent

Fair play to him. Fantastic ability he has. Not sure why he's doing it for free though.

Bit of artistic license used with that one I think

Its impossible to fix a photo that isnt presnt (the ripped picture) so I'd say artistic license is used in alot of them, but still its a good service hes providing and the picture obviously have meaning to people!

He might have got a few pictures of those people, and used the face from another pic.
