Title: Please Help Restore and Clean Up this Old Photo of Teresa Dacar
Post by: rdiienno1 on Wednesday 26 July 17 14:38 BST (UK)
I would be most grateful if someone could please clean up and restore this old photo from 1918.  I have tried to to clean it up with no success.  Thank you very much for any help you can provide. 

God bless,
Ron

A black and white clean from me.

Not sure if that white hair piece is a flaw in the photo, maybe I should have removed it?

Interesting Pat . . . .  I too thought the mark on her head was a tear.     :-\ :-\

Odd that there is no sign of it in the reflection . . .  you'd reckon there would be even a small bit showing above her hair wouldn't you.   :-\  :-\

I agree - enlarged it definitely looks as if part of her head/hair is missing and needs rounding off/filling in.

Nice looking woman!   :) 

Where did you find the photo, Ron?   Was she someone famous - photo in the paper of magazine for example?  She looks as if she might have been on the stage maybe?

Wiggy, I couldn't see anything in the reflection either, which is why I decided to remove it. I wasn't too sure though, so I'm glad you and Gadget agree with me,

Thank you all so much.  You are all awesome and I love every one of the photos.  I believe someone mentioned that she looks like she could be on stage or something.  I agree, but no, she is simply an aunt who was posing for a photo. 

Thanks again everyone.  You're the best!

Ron

A creative try from me, imaging Teresa some kind of movie star  - so added an filmstrip border and splash of colour. And black and white
