I have done a version for you. Just took 5 curves layers two of which were for D&B, and a hue/sat layer. Took about 15 minutes in all I guess after a bit of tinkering with the masks.
This looks good! The colour of people is just right.
Could you be more specific about the process? I need to get better result on this photo.
What D&B means and how did you make masks?
Thanks again in advance!

Thank you for warm welcome sarah! And thanks for the tips Aladdin.
I played aroud a little bit, twisted some knobs and pushed sliders.
The result is attached below, also the original.
I'm not very pleased with the result, as i couldn't get all the reddening removed. But the photo is not easiest to fix either.
Have to work a little more on that...

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Restoring partially faded colours and lightleaks in photographs
« on: Monday 23 March 15 18:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

I'm trying to restore a colour photograph dating from 1988. The colour shift is sort of "typical" to photographs from eighties. The colour has not faded evenly, but in two major spots. On about 40% of the surface, the coloring is fine, but on 60% there is intense reddening as you can see from the attached part of the photograph.
I'm using Photoshop CC to restore the photograph. I'm quite n00b at photohopping so I'm asking your advice here.
I have scanned the photograph in 1200ppi (more than needed), and created mask from RED channel with blurry edges, the mask resembles the colour-faded spots on photograph. I have tried to adjust the colouring in masked area to match the picture, but with no luck. I should probably mask green and blue channel too and adjust them all ?
I'd appreciate, if somebody could give a few suggestions or point to some example how-to guide. And please don't judge too roughly, i'm beginner at photoshop.
