Title: Any further info from photo? Can anyone restore it please?
Post by: spongebob on Sunday 31 October 10 12:57 GMT (UK)
I have an old photo which I think is of my great uncle who was in the RAFVR during the war, he was killed in 1943 aged 38. He was in 78 squadron. Not sure if there is anything else which we can get from the photo?

Thanks Jim, restoration would be really nice as it's in poor condition.

Thanks so much David - love that one, it looks a cross between a photo and a painting which I think is great.

I have a technical question for all you photo experts - I wanted to get a copy printed out in a big size say something like A4 size and framed for my Dad - whats the best way to do this? I have used the online places before where you upload the pic and they send you the print. But will these photos be high enough resolution to print in A4 size without looking pixelated?

Thanks again.

Matt
