[Retouch] Can you folks help me re touch some photos

Click for full size
I have about 7 or 8, but I will upload one at a time to not overwhelm you guys. I scanned it at 1200 dpi, I hope thats good enough. Whatever you folks can do I would really appreciate it. My Goal is to have an 8 by 10 print or larger if applicable. The colors are fading especially along the border. And the photos seems too" bright". I think it is the way the software scanned it. I am a noob and do not use any digital software. Thank you for your time.

The first pic is my sis and I, typical 80s photo.

Thank you all so much:

Two questions:
1. How does it take you to re touch these photos.
2. Is there anything can be done for the faded portion near the edge. If not, thanks!.

I have more photos but down want to over burden. Ill scan another next week. The next one is tough b/c its stuck in the photo album.

With layers, you can get pretty elaborate. This was with four layers, each of a different part of the image.

You could probably use the clone tool in any editing program to blend in the faded bits.

Sorry that I just did a vertical flip of the original image in the thread without verifying the orientation -my bad.

I just played around with the standard tools -brightness, contrast, tone, color, saturation, etc.

Much better edge clearing than mine, but what's the purple between their legs?

Bad shadow. There's another defect in the bench.
