Title: restore and colour please. ABBOTT 1979
Post by: jmt3003 on Monday 12 September 16 11:35 BST (UK)

These were my grandparents Freda and Harold Abbott. I believe they are celebrating their 40 th wedding anniversary. My grandfather passed away 3years later.

I would like the photo restored, so I have a good copy in black and white, and I would like it coloured if possible.  It is a polariod photograph and is about 7-8cm squared.

Thank you so much, I very much appreciate all you do x

Because of the exposure much of the facial features are just not there.
I've tried to bring out as much as there is but there have been compromises.
