Hi, This photo is of my Grandfather working in the foundry i was wondering if any colour could be added to this pic?? we have no colour pictures of him so it would be wonderful to see a little added, as we lost him to cancer quite young and this picture was taken a few years before he died.
You have all done some wonderful pictures for me in the past and i know i can turn to you all for a job very well done!!!
Thank you

Mollster, if you just want a good colour pic of Grandfather, and are able to scan it again, then I sugest you put it back in the scanner, crop to about hips up and scan at the same resolution.
About this much picture but at the same size and resolution you scanned originally.

Hi Mollster,
Another version for you.
Are you sure it's a foundry? It looks like a heavy duty garage.

Yes, that's what I meant. ;D
Here you go then.

Maybe Rog might like to try this size one. He gets much better skin tones than me. ;D

Hey,
I used the small picture for your grandfather. Hope you like the colourings.

Hi Everyone,
Thank you so much for all your help, in answer to your question Rog it probably is a heavy duty garage where Joseph worked, i just assumed it was a foundry, the problem is that my gran who was married to Joseph has since died and there is no one eles to ask, but i think you have all done a cracking job and made me very happy!!!
Thank You x
