I'm working with Dean Moeller to digitally touch up some of his dad's military pictures.
Above left is an example of the scan that Dean made of the original photo he has and after I digitally touched up that scan he sent by e-mail.
This took hours to clean up...I generally don't have that much time to clean up photos for people but when they are historically important and when
there are not that many available for a specific person - I'll help out when I can.
