All,
My wife's grandmother (age 95ish) gave me a small photograph on our last trip to Germany. It is barely 2"x2". It is of her and her dog, taken about 60 years ago. She had asked my wife to teach her say, in English, "Can you fix?"
Well how could I turn her down? I am pretty adept at PS, and normally this would not be a the problem it is. I did not see that the crack ran right through her nose - and without any other sources to clone from, I am left with "freehanding" a nose. Well, if I could freehand, I would be a painter, not a photographer! All of my attempts look like a "flat spot" on her nose - imagine Marcia Brady after getting hit with the football! I am not getting the contour and shading in any way that looks realistic.
Point being, creating a nose from what I have here is beyond my ability, so I am asking for help.
This is a 100% crop of the scan in question. If you are up to it, please take a stab and post back what you able to do.
This represents about 10% of the picture area, and I am well in progress with addressing all the other "fix-it" issues. Further, I am not worried about the smile, or the eye or the blur. It's just that nose that has me flummoxed!
I thank in advance anyone who is able to help.
