Title: Can anyone add some colour to this photo?
Post by: Blue on Wednesday 11 January 06 11:02 GMT (UK)

Hi everyone,

Hope I am attaching this photo properly, never done this before! Apologies in advance if it all goes wrong  :-[

I was wondering whether some kind person would be able to add some colour to my Nanna and her younger brother.  I think this photo was taken in the early 1890's.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist.

Regards,
Blue

Hi Blue,

    I have done some of my own Photos on a Adobe Photo program, I will have a go for you ( I'm not an expert at it) do you have any idea what colour dresses you would like?

Hi Janet,

Thank you so much for the offer. I think may be a pale lemon for my nanna and perhaps a pale blue for the little boy (seated on the table). (I really don't have a clue what colours children would have worn at the time)  Also if it is any help my nan had brown eyes but don't know about her brother.

Thanks again, it is very kind of you.

Regards,
Tracy

Hope this is ok, I still have it on my computer if you want me to make any changes.

P.S  I've not put a photo on before, hope it works.
