Photo Restorations - Hot Air Balloon

This is a series of "before" and "after" photos of a hot air balloon. The photos were taken by one of my friends many years ago and were scanned for me to restore. The images I worked from were jpeg files. All of the photos needed spot and scratch repair, as well as color-caste removal, and repair of the washed-out sky background. I took some artistic licence, and added sky and clouds to the background in many of the photos so as to create a sense of "depth-of-field", and more visual interest. I hope Karen doesn't mind!
