The several wounds on the three dimensional image of the face scar its beauty making interpret its physiognomy as belonging to a not very young man whereas historians estimate Christ was 35-40 years old.

On the other end, its high quality enables to glimpse the natural features of the Man of the Shroud. It was considered therefore really important to clean wounds and bloodstains.

The signs of tortures have been removed by applying adeguate filters without altering the features below. The resulting image, whose features are much more sharp, is on fig. 6 and this is the only three dimensional image of the natural face of the Man of the Shroud achieved without artificiality.

It is necessary to notice that the image is lightly out-of-focus proving that the processing is the result of numerical filters with a foggy vision as side effect.

Moreover, it is necessary to stress that the information in fig. 6 is the one of the original image of the Shroud but cleaned from the wounds. The processings have added no further information and the resulting image can therefore be considered as very similar to the real features of the Man of the Shroud before being subjected to torture and crucifixion. The remaining differences are probably due to a general tumefaction of the face and to rigor mortis.

Fig. 7 shows how filtres have kept the three dimensional aspect and the traumas due to the wounds have been kept visible; if the Man of the Shroud had been an old man filtres wouldn’t have succeeded in cleaning the wrinkles completely.
