This is portrait of my great-grandmother, taken sometime between 1910 and 1915. On the left is the original and on the right is the retouched version. When I started I was really trying to remove the yellow age spot on her dress and Ms. Russell suggested that I change the print to black and white. However after changing it I found the it didn't look quite right, it was a little to blue, so I went back and added some sepia tone to begin the brownish tone back into the picture. After doing this most of the age spots have been removed, however it still has the antique look to it. I also did a lot of blurring of the background to remove the lines and creases.
