Need Help With Restoration - Photoshop Tutorials | Photoshop Contests

What's up everyone, could someone please provide me with a solution to this restoration. I'm stumped. The area that really needs help is the area in the middle/bottom right side. Thanks!

Whats wrong with the middle/bottom/rightside? to me it looks fine?
What are you unhappy with?

Down the outside of his left arm(not the arm near the Santa), seems like it's not sharp enough, looks artificial. Would you pay 29.95 for this? (Not literally, but if you were someone who needed a picture restored and didn't know anything)

of course, nobody on this site would pay for any kind of photoshop work but the general public would and does...so keep at it; you're doing well!

as for the first pic, i'd just copy the good arm...flip it and use it for the other side. just make a few small changes/adjustments and nobody will know.

Hey thanks! I guess when I asked the question about paying I phrased it wrong, I meant from the perspective of someone who doesn't know anything about retouching pictures. I will try that solution, thanks again.

I didn't know what you meant.

But I see what your saying. Good luck!

Sold! I'll take 2 copies! lol
just kidding. Ya, I'd agree with kermit, keep it up, there is a large need for this and most people would gladly pay for this service.

Thanks everyone! Kermit, it worked out great! It looks fine now. Now my goal is to be able to restore a picture within 45 minutes.
