Title: 1870’s photo of girl for colour please
Post by: BatUser on Sunday 11 November 12 13:50 GMT (UK)
I would be very happy to have the attached photo coloured.
 You all did such a magnificent job on previous photos.
 I would be very grateful if you could work the same magic on this one.
The photo has been up before for dating

I forgot to add that she would have had blue or blue grey eyes.

Thank you

Thank you so much Terry

The work you have done is fantastic.
It looks like the photos were taken in colour. I have printed both of them and they look so real.
The skin tones and hair colour really suit her. (I think she is Ada Guest my mother’s aunty)
The dress colours work so well and suit her.
I also like the curtain fabric and background.
Even the colour of the chair looks just as it should be.
I am so happy and grateful for what you have done and my mother will love them also.
Regards
Terri

Just have to ask....how on earth would you know the girl has blue eyes?

Or were you around then? ;D ;D ;D

Hi Chinakay
I was not quite around then  ;) but my mother (the youngest of 10) is 93 and Ada was her father’s  oldest sister b1860. All that side of the family had blue or blue grey eyes as did my mother’s siblings.

Regards

Terri

Thank you Caroline

This is amazing.
It all works so well together. The detail of what is on the pedestal and fan is great with the pink flowers softening the dress.
I have also printed this photo to give to my mother.
With the colour photos I gave my mother previously of her grandmother she put one up in a frame at a time and every week or so changes the photo so she enjoys them all one at a time. I enjoy seeing which is on display when I visit.
I will get another frame for these photos so she can have the pleasure of looking and appreciating each of them.
Many thanks

Regards

Terri

Thank you Chinakay
The  eyes are done very nicely.

Thank you Carolyn
Thank you for taking the time to colour the photo of Ada.
I am very happy to have such lovely photos. They will all be appreciated.
There is such a difference in colour and they all have a different mood.
It is amazing that with each different colour of the dress you feel you can see the dress made of a different fabric. Something I had not thought of before.
I now notice more of the detail.
I have printed the photo and it looks very nice and I will take them to my mother later today.

Many thanks

Regards
Terri

Thank you Yvonne

That was so thoughtful of you to do a cleanup.
Before and after but also now a nice photo of how the original would have looked before it got grubby with age.
I had already printed the original and now having printed your copy I can see what you have done.
The cleanup looks as it should so it is not fully appreciated until you see the original next to it.
Very well done.

Many thanks

Terri
