Photographer’s Note
Continuing un-dusting old photos, here we have a small business in one side of the road, atended by kids. They are selling cashews and a desert made from the cashews fruit which is like jelly but with wholes fruits.
Considering this photo was taken more than 10 years ago, is amazing you can see some boddy selling the same thing still in the same place with a similar wooden table.
Post processing:
Scanned @ 600 dpi
Noise cleaned and despecle.
Some big scratches erased with the healing brush.
Curves manipulation to increase the overall contrast.
Selective saturation in the greens, reds, cyans range.
USM.
And highlights clipping on the white dress using a mask.
Flatten the image.
Thanks for looking.

La mejor de la serie. Me alegra ver que los consejos han sido utiles. Prestale atencion a las esquinas, tienes unos bordes blancos, dale un crop o tapalos con un borde.
Un abrazo,

Una foto muy interesante Julio . Me quedo con esa expresión de las niñas , tierna , inocente y con un poco de tristeza . Interesante explicación sobre como rescatar una foto más o menos antigua . Un abrazo.

Julio,
This photo is fascinating. It does look similar to today in many ways, but there is something different. I don't mean it's not digital, It just looks different. I think it's what the children are wearing. Really interesting.

Hola Julio, qué buena esta foto, realmente transmite mucho... aunque lamentablemente lo que transmite son emociones de carencia y estrechez.
Me gustó mucho el que las dos niñas de pie te miran. Las tablas al fondo hacen una textura interesante.
Bien vista!
Te hice un Workshop tratando de corregir el efecto escaneo, avivando un poco los colores al quitarles algo del rojo que produce el añejamiento.
