Title: A dash of colour to Kate?
Post by: colwoodtom on Wednesday 03 September 08 22:35 BST (UK)
After all your wonderful restores of my two other photographs, I wondered if I could ask for a colour of my great great aunt Kate. I think it is a great photo, so any colour you could add to it would be appreciated.

Many thanks for looking,

Tom

Hi colwoodtom .....Heres my colour interpretation.

If the photo was scanned at a higher resolution say at least 300 DPI a nicer job of the photo could have been achieved.

Here's another colour one from me ... I can't help much with lookups and such, but at least I can try to repay the many favours I've received, this way  ;D

Hi Tom

A quick play from me.

You really do need to rescan it though at 300 ppi do get the best quailty restore.

Cheers

Thank you all :D I'm afraid I can't scan it at a higher dpi as I don't have the photo and it was scanned at a bit of a family get-together and the scanner of the people hosting it wouldn't scan them any higher because of the internal memory which is a shame, but they came out better than I thought they would.


Thank you all for the great colouring :)
