Lost in Photoshop: another old photo restoration part i

I have a tip about straightening the rotation of images -- particularly scanned images.

the old photo is younger than 1901 and older than 1930, I believe. Given the image size (approximately 2 1/4 x 3 1/2) I would guess that it was taken by a Kodak Brownie (probably '2') camera. The original image had faded quite a bit.

I attempt to use various techniques to recover the image, including: level adjustments, use of high pass filter, use of surface blur filter, use of "split masks", and attempting to reconstitute "depth" using linear burn (non-destructively) in an "overlay" [not the mode] layer.

. With photo retouching we can highlight certain details of a photograph which can compensate for the limitation of the camera use. We can even tone the skin and remove blemishes and lines from appearing in the photographs. That is one secret of the Hollywood personalities when they appear on tabloids or magazines
