Title: Restore of Grandad and Grandma
Post by: deryckjohn on Sunday 14 June 09 17:25 BST (UK)
Another one to work your magic on., date is 1914.

As you can see, this one is rather a mess, not helped by the photographer focusing on the wall!

I anyone wants to use the tif it is here (http://www.broadway.eclipse.co.uk/FMCBBBJcrop.tif)

Thanks,
Deryck

Oldhippy, Irene and Terry thanks you all your restores, superb, it must have been a very difficult shot to work with. I really appreciate your efforts.

Thanks,
Deryck

ps You'll be pleased to know that I don't have any others like that :)

Great jobs by everyone! wow - a lot of work to bring that photo back to life and it was as bad as it was because it was from 1914 AND the person snapping the photo couldn't focus correctly (most likely the camera).

Agreed great jobs, I didn't really realise how bad it was until I had a good look at it after I posted it.

But, as I said the camera was focused on the wall  ;D
