Jonn F.'s Damaged slide

Jonh F.

On your personal user gallery, you placed a damaged slide;

I have spend a little time on that.
This because I have not so long Photoshop Elements 4.0 and Curvemeister and The Hidden Powers of Lynch.
I investigate the possibilities and try to get it in my fingers.

First I make the photo a little smaller on the left site.
Then I do a HSB  brightness, so that it looks nice the first glance.
Then I used  RGB separation from Hidden Powers. I see on each layers or channel rubbish.
The green has less rubbish.
But the blue is the worst.
I copy the green to the blue.
After that I used Curvemeister to make the jack less green and do a hairbrush snapshot from Hidden powers.
also manipulating the hair  and again a hairbrush snapshot.
After flattening a do mostly clonestamp to make the rest of it better.
I  am not satisfied, but it is better than the original.
