oops, I think you forgot something Cathlene  ;D ;D
If you are not sure how to put the pic up, there is details at the top of the forum to help, "Scanning and posting images."

Hi Cathlene,

Was this the photo you were wanting fixed ???  Had a go anyway :o

Terry

For what it's worth I think it's a shoulder strap for a bag/rucksack and not a parcel under his arm. ::)

Cathlene, there is no photo !    ;) 

Perhaps your sister could do it for you, and perhaps a new thread ?  to get as good as possible response.    :)

Cathlene, you really need a new thread altogether to get the best response.
And the photo is slap bang in the middle of this one!   ;)

Hi Cathlene...do you have the original of your dad's photo? If you do, could you please rescan it at a higher resolution, 300-600 dpi (the higher the better) and in colour, even if it's a b&w photo...the restorers are going to need all the help they can get if anybody's going to tackle it :)

If the file is over 500kb, you will have to reduce the size a bit. Do not compress. Reduce, save, see how big it is now, and repeat until it's under 500kb.

And as mentioned, please start a new thread...some people don't revisit old threads.

Cheers,
China
