Photo Restoration: old slides


And now for something completely different: a photo restoration of an old colour slide file from my youth. The boys in the photo are myself and my best friend Tim. I presume the photo was taken by my father.

But nonetheless the actual slide was pretty good. I didn't even touch anything up. I just boosted the fading colours and increased contrast a bit, added a vignette and a frame and presto...
