I came across one of my old Army ID photos.
At the bottom of my Artist's Bin, while giving it a much overdue clean-out.
I tried restoring it the best I could, but it's size made it very difficult to do.
The photo was originally taken in one of those "sit-down instant photo booths", that were often found in the Five&Dime stores here in the states.
Commonly known as the F. W. Woolworth Company.
Here's my results.

Before
Image

After
Image
Due to the nature and what the photos were intended for.
I was instructed to "Not Smile".

Here one of mine back in 1983. Would you I was 22 year old and a lot of people thought I was 18 or 19. Can you fix this one, I'll appreciated if you do.

I'll give it a try, but I'm not going to promising spectacular results.

Here's my best effort.

Not bad Wallace. I tried it too and made it a little bigger for you.

Only just saw this thread. Good contributions from everyone :)
Will try the other one tomorrow afternoon/evening.Maybe not.
Have just tried and there is a lot of work to be done. Don't think I will get it any better than everyone else who has tried.

Thank you my friends, this is well appreciated. I'm choosing so far Wallace work and dinasset, they're so close. Wallace work look clear and I like dinasset colors. I wish I have a combination of both. Once again thanks.

Here's a combination of the two, using Wallace's light and Dinasset's colors...
