Title: Family in need of some TLC
Post by: murraymints on Thursday 15 March 07 23:11 GMT (UK)

Would one of you lovely people be able to do anything with this rather delapidated photo of my grandparents and uncles? It's taken in 1910 and has been in my mothers handbag for about the last 50 years!!

I failed too  :'(.  You need Lady Di, or someone with her talents. Never mind, it was good practice  ;). 

Cheers

Lones  :D :D

Thanks Cazz  ;D

Can't wait to see yours.  I had trouble with the fingerprint, and all the missing bits,  I hope Murraymints gets a restore worth having, it's a great picture.  I just love the way Dad is holding his childrens hands, it shows a lot of love there  :) :) and the cute little shy kid, wonderful!!

Lones  :D

Well done Genie, much better than my febble attempt  ;D ;D, I am pleased Murraymints has a decent restore, because of the kind comments on my botched job  :D :D.  Murraymints, that is a good restore, which is why I said I failed  ;D ;D

Cheers

Lones  :) :)

Everyone has done a great job restoring this photograph - each version highlights something different and wondeful in the photograph.  In each - a beautiful, happy, loving family shines through.  I can see why your Mum would keep it in her handbag close at hand.  If you printed this out and put it in a frame it would make a beautiful Mother's Day gift.

Thanks Lones,  :D :D

I saw they were having problems in the beginning, but there are some other nice restores that beat me to it  ;)

Tony may be coming home Tuesday if the procedure goes as scheduled, fingers crossed  :)

I may not have too much spare time for the first week or so, but will definately try to post more,

Yvonne

How can I thank all you guys! You've all done an amazing job with mums photo. I'm going to give her the choice and then put it in a frame for her tomorrow for Mothers Day.

Thank you one and all from the bottom of my heart!

Just to let you know that my Mum was amazed at what you guys had been able to do with her photo! She was so pleased - it's going to get pride of place now on her photo wall.

I should warn you though - she's looking out some more!!!

Thank you all so much.
