1. It's sad to see old photos go to waste due to deterioration.
2. I found the photo challenging to restore because a part of the mother's face is destroyed with the cracking.

4. Levels
I was happy with the result and emailed the restored photo back to my friend and asked her permission to post the photo on my blog. Today, I got her response and permission to use the photo. Here it is:
