Attached is a photo of Robert E Gibboney (1810-1867) of Wytheville, Virginia. He originally came from Drumnakilly, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Looking for a little color in the photo. Thanks in Advance.

You folks did an excellent job of touching up the black-and-white photo of my ancestor Robert E. Gibboney. Now I have another small favor. Could someone please extend/build the image further down his chest and add a grey coat with the yellow pin stripes of a Confederate Colonel- my ancestor wore this type of uniform. Lore has it that is the uniform he wore when conducting impressment activities in Wytheville, Virginia as a CSA Prices Commissioner, an appointed post. He acted like Teague in the film Cold Mountain (203), only this was SW Virginia. Happily, he survived.
