I would love some kind person to give my Mum's portrait a brighten up please. I have scanned it in colour, hope this is possible?

Many thanks.

Hopefully this should help .. !!  :)

And it's given me some needed practise at something I'm hopeless at  !! 

Added It's a lovely picture, with a better scan at 300 or higher, it would be perfect.

Hi Parkywinter,
Wakefield is the Surname of my husband's paternal grandmother. Her family came to Austalia in 1854 from England.

Hi Chrisfip

Welcome to Roots!

Can you tell me a bit about your Wakefields? Do you know where in England they originated? The name is quite common unfortunately!

Regards

Jill       :)

Hi Jill, a very late attempt at a portrait of your Mum using the excellent efforts of the restorers as models, A.T.B. Renaud  ;D ;D

Hello Renaud,

Many thanks for your portrait, it's lovely! Have to ask (don't take offence, it's just not obvious from a posting on here....) is this a photo of a portrait painting you have done? or the wizardry of computer software?
I think it is a painting, as I dabble a bit in watercolours myself. Only do landscapes and flowers etc as I can't seem to "get" humans or animals right!
Well done you! and thanks!
I will attempt to print it off for a better appreciation of your work.
Kind regards
Jill.   :)

Hello again Jill, if you take a look at an earlier post headed 'Dad 1917' posted 23rd July, it will to some extent explain how I produce my pics from an initial sketch, thank you for comments and best regards Renaud,  ;D ;D
