Searching for someone's 'before and after'

[Mari]

In the last few days I saw a 'before and after' of a colored farm wagon inside or beside a barn. The wheels were very large. The final picture was amazing as to how much color and detailed they pulled out of the original. The person has about 3 steps as how it was done ...it seems it may have has a reducing- noise step. ...but not sure....

I have a picture I wanted to try the steps on because so much color is gone.
BUT....I cannot find the posting of it.

I just spent about an hour going back through postings. If it was yours or if you know the posting, please point me to it. I am giving up looking for now.

(I tried a search and came up with a dairy wagon...that's not it.)

Thank you sooo much for any help!!!

Rusty! BINGO!

I do not know how you did this, but you found it. Thanks!!!!!

I can see that I did not recall the information very well...there were 6 steps ... not 3 and there is nothing about noise reduction!!!! Anyway, I can stop searching and start applying the procedures to my faded picture.

Just to let you know I am impressed and amazed that all I had to do was ask!!!!!!!....and the answer was here in minutes! Thanks, again!
