Title: Great Grandfather Alfred needing a smarten up please
Post by: whiteKat on Tuesday 07 June 11 04:52 BST (UK)
Another ancestor Great Grandfather Alfred - Barrister at Law - wishing for a brightening and removal of scratches please. I just can't help myself posting more photos when I know all you skilled people are out there doing such wonderful work. It appears you all really enjoy doing what you do and speaking personally - it is really appreciated.

Alfred was born in 1838 and I wonder at what period this photo was taken He worked in British India for many years.

Thank you sincerely

Kate

Thank you very much.

Bill and Irene you excel each time - thank you so much.

Each photo restoration holds its own special quality either in tone, or content. I love the different shades of colour and how the chair and flowers stand out for instance.

Much appreciated
Kate

Hello Bill again,
I have just noticed you have given Alfred Greatbatch some gloves! How great is that and his hand looks really good too. Funny thing is though when I really enlarged the original photo at home before posting it I thought he was wearing gloves - as his hands looked crinkly and I could see no finger nail. However I really love what you have done with his hands.
Thanks
Kate

When I enlarged the original photo to 1000 dpi it looked as if there was something darker in his right hand, and being a 'proper gent' it could possibly have been a pair of gloves.  ;)

Bill.
