This is a portrait photo that was taken of my mother when she was 7 1/2 years old, so somewhere around 1938 when this photo was taken. It had faded badly and its a bit difficult to tell what some of the original colors were in the photograph. It appears that this photo was taken professionally.
One thing that I have found about all older photographs is just how out of focus most of these are. None are ever sharp around the face areas especially.
I decided to crop this photo and eliminated some of the distracting background elements..and I added a soft vignette to the edges..I did the restoration work exclusively in Photoshop CS3.
I see myself and both of my sisters as well in this photograph of our mother..
