Title: Have you ever been asked to remove colour ??? - Completed
Post by: Colin Cruddace on Saturday 09 January 10 03:04 GMT (UK)

I know I issued a challenge ( sort of!) but this photo is a bit special as it's the only one of my Mam's older sister who died of TB at the age of 19.

Can it be restored?

PS. Just to fill you in, I have the task of compiling a photo album from my Mam's photo collection and a lot are worse for wear, as you might have gathered.

Congrats Ivor, it's much better than mine would be ;D

Thanks for another one Em, you've got a good contrast with this one.

Under my profile, 'My Grandparents', my Mother's parents are the separate couple, is there any way that 2 separate photo's could be married into a single one?

Well, it looks a bit sombre with that black border and then there's.....

Obviously, I'm kidding. That is an absolutely fantastic picture, even with graining in the wooden fence. Thank you so much for it.  :) :) :)

another option is to mute the bright colours.

I've been going through my older posts to mark them as Completed, and I came across Harry Randell's contribution whch somehow slipped under the radar.

My apologies for this late acknowledgment, and thank you for the restoration.

Colin
