Title: Grgr grandmother restoration please
Post by: Chrispy on Saturday 17 January 09 14:53 GMT (UK)
Can you do anything with this photo, probably taken 1860's.  Would be delighted if you could.
Many thanks
Chris

Is this a scan of an original?
It's posted as greyscale so very difficult to restore.

Not a fan of image effects and filters --- this is the best I can do and still retain something of the original image...

Awful lot of guesswork, but best I can do

Looks like a scan of a photocopy of a photograph  :-\  Unfortunately not a lot of info to work with...however, I can confirm that it was taken in the 1860s  :)

Thanks so much, it isn't the original photo, just emailed to me and probably a copy of a copy.  Nevertheless I think you have done a wonderful job of it.  Again thank you.
