The original state of this headshot was scratched, tattered, and discolored.
Adobe Photoshop was used without generative AI assistance to restore the photo back to its original pristine state.
Some tools used were the Clone Stamp and Pattern tools to restore the background and woven pattern on the subject’s vest. Then some self-expression was added with the Pencil Tool to recreate the subject’s missing eyebrow.
One piece of feedback that improved the design was readdressing the subject’s ear and masking the missing part with a stock photo.
For this assignment, all directions were followed, with successful feedback exalting that the photo restoration was done so well, that it looks like generative AI was used.
Software used: Adobe Photoshop
