Title: Clean up sepia photo of my Grannie, Barbara Gentleman Smith Elgin c1916
Post by: Calleva on Sunday 26 November 23 07:34 GMT (UK)
It would be wonderful to have this sepia photo of my Grannie tidied up (thank you to jmagarac for kindly size reducing).

It shows her with three of my late Mum’s siblings Johnnie, Doddie and Bessie.

They stayed in Elgin.From the children’s ages I’m guessing the photo is c 1916.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Wow!

Thank you so much to everyone who has been kind enough to produce such beautiful and sensitive restorations.

It would be a pleasure to buy each and everyone one of you a dram or whatever else you’d prefer if you’re ever up here in Morayshire!

Sláinte!

Stuart

Remiss of me not to respond sooner but thank you very much Treetotal. I also like the subtle contrast you’ve added which still keeps the original feel of the photo, I imagine my Grannie would have been very happy with it.

Should have said that I like the borders you’ve added as well which beautifully enhance the image, thank you again.
