Would there be any objections to not have them posted here?
Here is OMBUU Arm Lift #1 set from Page 1.

All of these photos have been color corrected, I'll only post the page 1 photos for now.

Amazing photos. It all started with a photo trying to correct the discoloration, and the results are pretty good. Here are the photos I've processed so far in Photoshop. I hope to finish up the rest soon.

What did you do in Photoshop to get such an improvement? I need to fix some badly faded photos myself.

I'm using some of the automatic corrections, Auto Color, Auto Contrast. They will provide satisfactory results some of the time, but not always.

Edit: I'm starting to notice the blue color channel information on a handful of photos are degraded.

There wasn't much to improve with the two sets.

Just coming across this thread now.  Thanks for the photos and stories.  It breaks my heart that all of this labor has now been literally scrapped.  I know, I know ... that is the way things are and no man-made structure lasts forever and I don't have the financial or political means to preserve historic structures.  Still breaks my heart.

Chris-A I just took a look at this thread after a too-long absence, and just wanted to stop and offer my undying thanks for the work you've done to enhance my unworthy images.

It's really appreciated. More than you might imagine.

And thanks once again to everyone, for all the kind words and interest.

Those were the days.

There's nothing "unworthy" about them. Thanks for the originals.

Thanks to Chris-A for the enhancements, as well.
