				| I was looking for an image to restore so I Googles photo restoration and I got the second image which is cut up, torn and creased which I restored and resulted in the first image. Does her chin in the second image look natural? If not how can I fix it?

				| I would say the idea of a restoration is not to enhance the image as in a traditional retouch, the aim should be to repair and conserve what is already there. I would perhaps have another go and see if you can keep as much of the original image and colours as possible, by altering the colours you have strayed away from the hand tinted look and feel of the original.

				| The cloning is a little rough and the background replace is too rudimentary. The image below took me an hour and a bit and is not finished, so shadow transitions and colour correcting has not taken place, what has been done is a lot of cloning and healing.
 I would not replace the missing fragment of the image as it does not directly interfere with facial structure. The idea should be to retain as much of the feel of the original as possible.
 
 I should add, that it is easier to retouch larger source images.
