Title: Faded faces
Post by: Ninatoo on Friday 20 January 06 09:04 GMT (UK)

Hello all,

I was wondering if anything can be done about the top of this photo which is rather faded.  I did try to darken it and got some additional detail, but then the darker areas just came up black.  I ws hoping someone could perhaps do a creative bit of cut and pasting, perhaps...making a copy darker all round, then just copying the darkerned top and pasting it somehow to this copy?  Well I would give it a try myself but I don't even have photo editor anymore.

Thanks for reading!

It looks to me as though the photo' you have posted isn't the original, If I am right , is it possible to post a scan of the original.

Oh! by the way without any cleaning or touching up this is the amount of detail that can be salvaged from your post, a little more detail in the blouses and skirts - I will try to clean it up tonight.

No not the original, sorry, and I don't know if one still exists.

Thanks for replying,

This one is a little better, but I think it needs someone better than me - or with a lot more patience.

Ninatoo and 7 of 9 are one and the same, just to clarify!

Wow thanks for these!  I can at least see their faces more clearly...and that is the main thing!

All the best,

Nina
