Would anyone be able to colour this 50yr old photo of my brother and myself? I know the quality isn't brilliant, I'm not bothered about that unless it can be sharpened up without de-noising it too much and thereby making us look too plastic!! What I would really love is for one of you to colour my sailor dress red and white and give my bro a light blue cardie and white 'dress' (all the rage 50yrs ago for baby boys my mum tells me), the background was obviously also a pastel colour but mum can't remember what!!!!
My hair is a sort of golden brown colour, as is my brothers, both blue eyes and fair colouring!
I've had a few photos 'done' by your goodselves and I know what wonderful work you do!!!!!
I'll say thank you in advance, I can't wait to see what we'll look like...............!!!
Regards, Kim
.............sorry for the multiple images..............I'm rubbish at this!!! I keep trying to resize, first it's too big, then too small...................Urghhhhhh!!!!

You will get better results if you can rescan this at a higher resolution, say 300dpi. This is scanned at 72dpi

Oh Irene!!!!! what can I say.................? That is so lovely, thank you sooooooo much. The colour totally brings us to life! I will try and scan the photo rather than upload a photo of a photo.......I WILL work it out!!!!!!! In the meantime, a massive thank you and if my scan does fail, then I won't feel I've settled for second best, your colour is lovely!
Thanks again.........watch this space!!!!
kindest regards,
Kim
