Title: Photo Repairs Please
Post by: farmeroman on Saturday 26 January 13 12:39 GMT (UK)
Two identical photos of my mother probably from the early 1940's; one black & white and one hand coloured. Both have some areas of damage and I wonder if anyone can fix the damaged parts of each with the good parts from the other and colour accordingly.

Many thanks to you all for your efforts; the results are amazing and at least one of them will be printed and framed so that the pictures (I have another full face colour portrait in perfect contition) will be seen for the first time in almost 70 years. I had never seen them before I discovered them while clearing my mother's house last year and it's wonderful to have them restored.
