Hi All,
This photo is the husband of one of my ladies can it be cleaned up a bit and coloured his eyes and hair were brown, she has been widowed over 30 years
and had forgotten the colour of his eyes but is sure they were not blue??
I want to get it done for her birthday. cheers Fae Janemarie(http://)

Forgot the photo???? I think its an age thing!

Hi here is a fix - sorry no colour - but if anyone wants to add colour to this, fire away

Hi Mudge and Gar,
That is what I call quick Fantastic I just put it on a short time ago, you guy's are amazing I think they are Great, I Love this site I only wish I could do what you all do, I have downloaded Serif photo 6 but am still learning, if I get it right I would invest in a better one but until then I would prefer to leave it to the experts, thanks again cheers Fae Janemarie

Hi Jim,
What a difference colour makes to a black and white photo you have done a brilliant job I hope to be as good as that someday! I downloaded Serif PP6
but I am not getting the right colours yet, I am still working at it, I am getting a bit slow it must be an age thing!! thanks again Jim cheers Fae Janemarie

Hi JaneMarie,
Have you forgotten the picture I requested so that we could
replace the face on the damaged photo of the 2 ladies?
Tomkin
Now that I've posted this I have found the original topic,
" Is this photo beyond redemption?"
-
Hi Tomkin,
No I didn't forget I am still waiting on the lady to bring it in to me, hopefully this weekend, I work with older people and its like playing the
waiting game, its amazing how many of them throw their photo's away when they move house very sad all their memories gone in the bin?
As soon as I get it I will put it on Tomkin, Thanks again cheers fae janemarie

Hi Everyone,

Polldoll I would like to take you up on the offer of a birthday card I think it is a wonderful gesture, The lady's name is Agnes and she will be 91 on her next birthday many thanks,cheers Fae Janemarie

Hi JaneMarie.. When is it Agnes' birthday? so I know the deadline...

cheers Fae Janrmarie

A big thanks to everyone for doing Agnes's photo, I can't wait to see your card Polldoll she will be so chuffed, thanks again everyone, cheers Fae Janemarie
-
Here is my version ...I will incorporate it into a card for her ... pm me please with your addy so I can send you the bigger versions to print
Poll
Ps
The original pic has now been replaced with one sporting brown eyes ! ;)
-
Hi Polldoll,
The photo is great but can you give him brown eyes as Agnes can't remember the colour of his eyes but doesn't think they were blue, she has been on her own since about 1974 when he died,
I am feeling a bit stupid but what is an addy??? please let me know put me out of my misery, cheers Fae Janemarie
-
Hi JaneMairie... Och Dinna feel silly hen ;)... it's me being lazy and using computer slang for " email address!" ....addy !! I can send you a bigger version then to print as the one online is much smaller than it appears on your screen ... I am a bit daft anyway as I misread your post saying his eyes were definitely not BLUE and thought it said definitely were BLUE!!
I'll change the colour then email you the card as soon as I have done it ..
PS don't publish your address on here ....only in a pm to me If you want the bigger copy ..Send me a pm ( personal message) if you have any problems ;)
