Last year, I did a project for the Cumberland Museum on Vancouver Island, in which I was responsible for the restoration and preparation of old images for use on their web site. Many of these images were shot on old glass plates which had been broken over time....although these breaks can't be repaired in actuality, they can however be made to look like they were initially shot, to a degree, of course. Here are a few samples of the stuff I did on some 5000 images ......

Nice work Rifleman. This was one of my hobbies before I got interested in the sims - but not to that standard. I can however appreciate how much was involved.
