Dear Old Grandfather

This was a difficult project. We had to save our selections in order to efficiently color every part of this old picture. I used Dust and scratches with the history brush tool, the clone stamp tool, and to color it I used Hue/Saturation Mask. It was tedious, but I'm happy with the result. I tried using mostly pastel colors, nothing too saturated so the era of the image would still be intact. He was missing an eye and there was a terrible line left probably from a fold. But that was no match to my favorite tool (clone stamp). The Quick Mask brush came in handy when dealing with minute details, like the clothes and bridle.
