Title: Help for special photo please
Post by: iow53 on Saturday 01 October 11 12:16 BST (UK)
A recently found cousin has asked for help.
This is an image of her dad, her & 2 brothers in happy times. Her father survived WW11 as a commando only to die tragically young.
Any improvement would mean a lot to so many people
Regards
Trish

Oh Trish, that is priceless.
The dear little girl with the ice cream all round her mouth.
Magic.
I shall certainly give it my best shot, but you will have to wait, because I am rather busy.

Here is one slight improvement for you

More than a 'slight improvement,' I'd say, artistic.
You have banished the creases.

Huge thanks to you both

Hi Irene,
That coloured one is fab!

The book, oh yes ...

I have linked up with a DIY self publishing firm, that sell from their own site and from Amzn.
It's great fun.
I will soon have a short horror story out with them, and I hope to have Eliza out in time for Christmas.

I'm loving doing it, because I can do my own covers as well.

My pleasure, Trish. I don't do many restores these days, but I like to keep my hand in. This was a really nice photo and deserved the best I could do.

Hello Sylvia

Best Wishes
