Celia sent me this photo to see if I could restore detail in the photo and make it enjoyable again. As you can see the fading was quite severe, causing whole blocks of background detail to be lost.  Celia - "It's certainly an improvement! Thank you." The lower portion of the face was also affected. This does make restoring this old photo much more difficult. But by using Photoshop I have been able to add some definition to the details of the face and the photo now looks a lot better.
