This is my mother. I have no idea where the photo was shot, or who the photographer was. I've emailed it to my brothers to see if either of them knows. Also don't know when it was taken, but she died in 1984, so it had to be several years before that.
Cropped, increased saturation, cloned out scratches and what looks like a broom handle. Noise filter for speckles and scratches. Some burning of face and hair to bring out details, and of the glare on the wall to try to reduce it some. Sharpened a little.
