Skippy, that's brilliant, thanks a lot!  What a difference - I really appreciate you doing that for me.   ;D  My Gran is front left, and the others are her brother and sisters, taken around 1908ish.  Thanks again xx

Had a bit of a go at colouring but I was in all honesty also trying to find
a quick way to colour in a realistic white.....don't think its worked too well as I
had to add a touch of blue to tone down and blur the edges as the white was just....
..........too white.
(made me think that the angels wings must be hidden in the box next to her)

There are a lot of shadows on your rellies faces so I have also had to use too much blur
to blend in the skintones.. so it a bit rubbery on the faces.  I'll play around with it over the
next week or so as I think I can come up with something better ....if I do then I'll post it
on the board.

Your Gran has not come up too bad first time around.....helps that she has a nice kindly
sparkle in her eyes.

Cheers

to you all, thanks so much, I can't believe how the photo has come up, I'm just amazed!.  Each one's a little different, so I think I'm going to build up a collage with them all.  What Gran would have made of it , goodness only knows, the wind-up gramophones were high tech for her.  You're all brilliant, cheers!

Lones, I was contemplating colouring this one also & could see they were redheads & the colours are almost as I would have chosen,  ;D  ..... we must be on the same wavelength !!

Hi Yvonne

I'm happy to share my wavelength with you. 

The colours on this one kind of presented themselves, I didn't even realise I had made them redheads until you pointed it out, isn't that odd???

Hi Lones,  :)

Yes it's uncanny ..... you can always tell the redheads by the pale eyebrows & eyes, so you had a good instinct  :)
