Title: Can anyone restore my photo please?
Post by: foxterrier on Wednesday 26 May 10 20:33 BST (UK)

This is a photo of my grandmother back in the 30s some time. The photo was taken in the back garden and unfortunately the picture is getting tatty now, and i would really love it if somebody could restore it back to a half decent level for me.

The picture is below along with a link to a higher resolution version for fixing.

Scratches gone, and a bit of paint splashed on to cover the cracks.

Looks a bit more cheerful if nothing else.
