This would be the end to a traditional photo restoration.
...beyond the pale
Using Painter 11, Wacom tablet and stylus, additional splashes of color and texture are applied throughout the image to give a more contemporary look to the photo.
These painting techniques can be achived using Photoshop alone but Painter 11 has much more variety in brushes and media.
Your imagination takes over and the joy of creativity takes over.
...finishing touches
Final details, using the pen & pencil tool with Painter 11, gives the process the type of control required in an actual painting or drawing.
These are a few short steps that can quickly turn an old dingy photo from the desk drawer into a vibrent work of art full of life and energy.
