Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to do a single raw conversion and have
things come out as "close as possible". Recall that the image had been
in two halves. The upper part had been hidden from view for many years
while the lower half had been exposed to years of sunlight and was badly
faded. Then the two halves had been "taped" to a cardboard backing
using a sheet of sticky plastic similar to tape except that it was an
8x10" piece of tape.
What I should have done was two separate raw conversions to get each of
the halves close to each other and then joined them. Too late smart.
