Somewhere it is not possible to find details of image’s to remove scratches. You can see this image’s left side beard, bottom side beard, neck and clothes. We use here a techniques to repair it.
Now we want to repair left side beard. you can see we can’t find the details or not possible to take sample for cloning. Here the right side beard is clear so we have to copy the right side beard to replace left side beard.
