Title: Any eyeball doctors out there?
Post by: jo brennan on Sunday 23 November 08 01:31 GMT (UK)
Hello everyone,

Is there any hope of restoring this photograph?  Someone has done a bit of "artwork" to the eyes of Ann Sarah Trinder and her children - bless them!

I have a slightly higher quality version if it is of any use, which I can send off list.

I love the expression on Emma Matilda's face (the little one in front, holding on for dear life).

It's not a good photo, I know, so any attempt to improve would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jo

Victoria,

Please excuse me, but I didn't receive notification of your response, I only received your first response that you sent and that the file was too big.

Pardon me!

Thank you for taking the time indeed!.

Jo

Jo,

When I posted the first one, it came out heaps smaller. It turned out the photo you had already posted is larger than the one you actually sent to my email. I did the restore with the original photo instead, as it gives you a much better size/quality than the smaller one I originally posted. The reason you didn't recieve a second response, was because I used my original posting, and edited it rather than post a new one.

Hi Victoria,

I am so sorry, despite all good intentions, the e-mail I sent had an in-place setting to make sure that files aren't too large.  Sorry.  Is it too late to send again?

Thank you so very much Victoria, Alison and Mudge as well as Irene,  They are greatly improved.  Even little bub is standing out much clearer - thank you all so much.

This was taken the day before they immigrated from Middlesex to Australia, maybed that accounts for the unsure expressions on their faces ;D

Thanks again everyone!

Jo
