Title: Beyond me?
Post by: BlueHound on Monday 16 March 09 19:44 GMT (UK)
Hello Clever peeps ;D

I have been away for some time, merrily trying to restore what is now 3 boxes of family photo's. ::)

This one is really giving me some problems, it is on some sort of heavy 'stuff' comes out a bit like glass, and as you see very very dark - it can be lightened, but the faces are so bad every time I try I disfigure the family :'(  The lady at the back of the car is my nana, next to her is g grandma and the young man is a great uncle.  I only know its my nan by the shape of face and hair, so each time I try restore it I loose that :(

Anyone fancy a challenge?

Hello Lynda,

Had a quick look. Although pic seems to be
scanned at 720 dpi, apart from the young
laddie and the car shape, there is no detail
left to work on...it's just a blur of pixels.
I don't think there is any way of getting back
any of the detail.
