Asher started a great idea in my other post, (perhaps he'll repost both pics here) and I got cold feet because I worried the family of the fellow in the photo might find the original intent compromised. But the idea is terrific so I'll try again over here and see if I can draw a few of you in. We'll use my brother in law, John Cole because no amount of abuse is ever enough between brother in laws. Read that, don't worry, he won't care.
Here is my original 600 DPI scan from 120 film. The original picture was done with a little Minolta Autocord camera. Download it and have at it, and show us how you would interpret this.
Here's my finished picture.

Here's my workflow:

Here's my workflow:
- Scan at as 48bit color neg.
- flip horizontally.
- desaturate to 90% (10% of the color left)
- adjust in levels.
- make a duplicate layer and turn it to 'soft light'
- do opacity change in the soft light layer using TLAR
- flatten.
- Take a look at curves and see if you want to tweak any little bit.
- use the bandaid thingy to fix all the dust and mustache hairs.
- Sharpen with unsharp mask Radius 1.4 threshold 4 about 70% for this size picture.
- re-size for web and unsharp mask again but only about 32% at the new size.
- finished as you see.
