Title: COMPLETED MANY THANKS- a disgusting mess of a picture if there is any hope....
Post by: Lady constance on Wednesday 29 July 09 10:13 BST (UK)
Hi all,

sorry to post another picture so soon, but this was just sent to me....

My dad is good a repairing photos. he is not good enough for this. It has just been sent to me by my great uncle. (who can use a computer!!!!!) it is even scanned at 600dpi!

is there any hope whatso ever. My great uncle is the smallest baby.

the missing face looks sort of like the older girl  (although i excpect no miracles)

Any thing you can do would be appreciated. It is one of the few photos that he has of the siblings together.

hello

Well I was in the middle of attempting some kind of improvement... when my 88 yr old dad suggested I put a dog in the pic...

so Here you go one with Dads idea of a Dog with th e family... I will hopefully sort the other pic later.  almost there --- unless you get too many excellent ones...

Please, i think i nearly cried when i saw the care and attention you have taken!! I can't believe it. Normally a couple of wrinkles you can "excpect" to be taken out with relative ease... but a complete restore like this is priceless. My great grand uncle is waiting for me to send it to him (bless) i've been at work (night shift back to back with a morning shift) so havn't had time... logged on today to see the effort you have taken.

:-) :-) :-) is all i can say

biggest thanks

Sarah
