The original picture is from about '62-'63. My scanner at work is just a Dell all-in-one POS so the scan really isn't all that good. It actually scanned in better than I though.
Thanks a bunch.

I will take a shot at it
do you want it back as a true black and white or kept in the sepia-tone it currently has

here is about 30 mins worth
the OG image really needs to be scanned in at an ultra high resolution to get some of the grain out and to help the issue you are having with the heads of the guys getting washed into the wall. the image also needs the shadows to help sell the depth of the image. maybe not as deep as they were but the shadows could be recreated to be less intrusive.
DPI needs to be around 600 or more and then resized after manipulation to be effective

there is a lot more Photoshop offers beyond the clone tool for fixing photos.
This example is not the best because of the amount of grain in the OG pic. the texture has crept in to the hair and skin of the subjects.
here is a list of the tools I used to get what I have above:
- levels (needed on most images to balance or adjust lights and darks)
- clone tool (for fine cloning, not used to recreate large areas of texture)
- image masking (selective and repairable erasing between two layers)
- histogram (more fine tuning of lights, darks and midtones)
- healing brush (critical tool for cloning while keeping the original texture beneath the brush
I could write and entire paper on the techniques and usage of these tools but I wanted to give a perspective on what is out there for you guys to toy with.
Photo restore can get super pricey when done professionally. If I had a high res of that photo and wanted to do it "right" there would be about 8-10 hours involved. it would look as good as the day it was made. Just like everything in life you get out what you put in.
Plus, doing this kind of work is enjoyable
