photo restoration help

[gc123]

hi sorry to be a pain, would anybody be able to help with a major problem.

let me explain, we had a water leak last night (only a small one) and 2 of our wedding photos got soaked, they were on the mantle peice. problem is they got partially stuck to the glass in the frames.

now heres the problem, like an idiot i thought i could just ease them off but it didnt work and damaged them. ordinarily (sp) i would not mind but these are 25 years old.

could anybody photoshop them to make them look better, or suggest anywhere that could in the midlands?.

thanks for any help or suggestions gc123


sorry they appear to be huge many apologies as i am new to this.

I can yes, no problem at all. But, its not going to be a quick job. It will take me about 2 days to get the looking amazing, and new. Theres a hell of a lot of cloning to be done
Or i can just do a quick job in about 30 minutes.
heres a 30 minute version.

Going to be hard to restor the hand holding the flowers.

any help would be great a couple of overclockers are working on it from GD ,but the more the merrier. there is no desperate hurry , its just the wife (and myself were getting paranoid). sods law dictates that the inlaws have given us a pair of silver photo frames for the anniversary ,and these were the 2 pictures , i was supposed to have used.
thanks in advance and i must say what a great community spirit.

Can i ask a question. If your were to pay a price ( i dont expect anything) but if you were to take it to a professional and he charge you £50, would you be happy with what i just did? (plus a little more work on the flowers)
Or would you expect better? Considering i could spend more time on it.
What sort of standard do you think people would want?

Well considering ive done a lot of work for people on this website that most people would pay a lot of money for. I always try to do my best and if you look back at most of my posts there on photoshop changes, and i dont want to float my own boat, but mine generaly are of a much higher quality, because i have training in PS, and they only take me like 5 minutes too.

Being a student, i dont have major amounts of time for work, and am very poor but i might be thinking of a plan to make a few bob here and there, in my spare time.

However, you didnt answer my question

to be honest, i would be more than happy, based on the point of being i cannot do the job. i think you have done a marvelous job especially in the time frame. many thanks.

bear in mind ,these photos are not replaceable items, no negatives are available, and i believe the original photographer , died long ago.
you could have a nice little sideline going here.

I will finish them slightly more, and send you the original files, there a lot larger and will print a lot better.
