My take on Gonz’s scan. I set the black point and white point in levels. Tweaked the color balance to get the best skin tones, Increased saturation a bit to correct for some of the fading. Did a bit of burning and dodging, and that’s about it. Setting the levels was the most critical step in improving this pic.
