Title: Tidy up if possible, please of My Mum and Dad in a photo booth
Post by: Handaros on Sunday 28 June 15 18:16 BST (UK)
Hi,

This is a photograph of my late mum and dad, taken I think around 1949ish.  Not sure of venue, its passport sized so am assuming a photo booth somewhere.  Would love it if it could be retouched.

Many thanks in advance,

Stunning work, thank you all so much.  I think I shall make a collage of them all for my living room.

Japeflakes, I am amazed at the colour one, you have done dad's eyes blue and mum's brown which is absolutely spot on ...how did you know that?

Beautiful restores everyone!  Unfortunately I am not clever enough to do restores, but I love to see the amazing work our restorers do.

Handaros, I have to say what a pretty young lady and handsome young man your mum and dad were  :)

Thank you Jools.  They really were a stunning looking couple.  This is my favourite photo, they look like Judy Garland and Gene Kelly.

Am so impressed by all the work on here.  Had a go myself but am quite hopeless.  Would love to be able to do this sort of work.  Think I may have to enrol on a course sometime.

Wow, thank you so much everyone.  I am feeling quite emotional at the responses and time and effort everyone has put in to this.  I am going to buy one of those multi frames and frame them all.

Much love to all of you x
