Project 10: Photo Restoration

Poor Bluebeard, life handed him a couple curve balls. A bad eye, a big mole, and big scratches all over his portrait, he is not doing so hot... But that's okay because we have photoshop to make him look good again.
I first took the healing brush tool and painted over his mole. by setting a source point prior to this, it covers the blemish like it was never there. I then repeated this with all of the scratches, setting source points where it wasn't scratched, then painting over the scars. On one of the scratches I selected using the cloning tool, and corrected that way. To correct his poor blind eye, I opened the clone source palette, set the settings, clicked on a source point on the good eye, and then began painting over his bad eye.
No more looking like the victim of sun damage and an angry crow in the fields; onward to looking like the wise guru of gardening once more!
