Need help with old photo negative

[tegan]

In PaintShop Pro under image, there is an option called: negative. Clicking on that option changed the negative into a positive. I then increased the sharpness and contrast a little and cleaned up some artifacts: blocks caused by editing in low res images. I increased the chin line a little as well.

With more time, I would strengthen the hint of detail on the left side in the shirt area, chin line and around the ear. As to the glasses, the decision would be either to remove from the eye where they are obvious or try to add them into the other eye and toward the other ear which is not very visible. Selecting the eye with the glasses, horizontally flipping the selection and replacing the eye on the other side is also worthy of experimentation.

There are lots of possible approaches but they all take time.
