Title: Restoration please of my photo of the Fennelly Family of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
Post by: njlois on Saturday 05 March 16 18:17 GMT (UK)
I don't even know which one is my grandmother, it was and still is the only photo I've ever seen of her.  As you can see, there was a tear in the original and I attempted to fix it but succeeeded in mucking up the gentleman standing on the left.   Any chance of gently repairing this?
Thanks!!   Oh, it's the Fennelly Family of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.   I think my 'repair' also included the left eye of the little girl in the white dress (on the right side as we look at it.)

How about a post of the original with tear, (and a better quality scan) might make it easier.

Here is my 5p worth of fixing   ;)  .. Did not touch the main part of photo just a bit of back light and sharpening.. and worked on the two faces.


Cheers

I  have no claim to the full restoration of this photo ~ I just mellowed out some darker parts on the mans jacket at the back and young girls hair ~ the real claim goes to whoever placed the photo up prior to me . . .

"But" hey thanks . . . Twaz me first try . . . : )

Mine was the one before you - - and though I don't mind, it would be nice/courteous if you asked first!   ;) ;)   I did think it looked the same/very similar.   :-\   

It is generally NOT DONE to use others restorations without asking.   ::) :)  Thanks for the late recognition.

Good on you for having a try.
