AFTER  This project was a minor challenge, as it required considerable repair of the image, in addition to adjusting color saturation and tone, brightness, contrast, and employing a few other "tricks."  But was it worth it? Of course!  This beautiful angel blessing given  to a young girl so long ago can now be shared with her children and grandchildren...and eventually great-grandchildren.  They can even have copies of their own for the generations that follow them!!
