Title: My Grandfather's first shop - Beeches Shop
Post by: ettya on Friday 14 August 20 15:25 BST (UK)
Hi.

My Dad recently found this crumpled photo of his late Dad's first shop in a drawer and wonders if anyone can make it look a bit better. Its just the shops he is interested in so if the sky or road has to go so be it.

There is also one of the inside which is a bit fuzzy on the original but would be great if someone can do something with it also.

Thank you so much in advance

Full photos scanned but for some reason only showing part of each. If I click on the attachment image the full image opens up so assumed that would work for everyone else. If not I'll have to go back to the drawingboard ;)

      you will see the full picture. ;D ;D ;D

The internal image is lovely but definitely shaky hands taking it. The external photo is clearer but crumpled to heck. They are tiny little photos that have been hidden away for so long but lovely to see my grandfather's writing on the back.

Looks better and clearer in Black and White thanks Tomkin.Wasnt sure about the sepia tinge scanning in colour gave it. Is there any chance you can make the other photo more viable sizewise too? Mr and technology dont mix at all - impressed myself just getting them onto the page.

 No problem etta. He has Brooke Bond tea advert in the top windows and I'm just

    enjoying said brew ;D And next door is a Fruit shop advertising Outspan oranges

     and I've just partaken of a large Satsuma. ;D (alright! I know it's not the same ::) ;D )

         Do they still sell Outspan oranges ??? ??? ???

Here's my try at the interior, but I'm afraid I can't improve on the exposure.

Thanks again. It's a shame about the exposure of the image isnt it as it would make a lovely image of a simple moment of time.
