Challenge Images: Portrait Restoration

In this lesson I work on two challenge images that were submitted by Masters Academy members. Both images have retouching challenges. In one, I will show techniques for restoring old, faded photos that contain creases caused by storing a photo in a folded state. The main problem with completing the image was that the bottom edge of the nose was completely obscured by the crease, so I had to transplant a nose from another image. That involved using the Healing Brush.
