Good to see that you gave the response that Peter deserves Judy, I don't think people realise just how time consuming restoring old photographs to this high standard is. It's a good job we don't get paid to carry out the work, as the posters wouldn't be able to afford the hourly rate :o ;D ;D

;D You are right about that, Carol!
All you restorers on the board give your time and talents for free, something for which we less-talented people should be very grateful. You are all so generous with your time and skills - even more laudable when you are doing it for people that you don't even know. :D
The photo restoration board is the first one I look at every day, and I would guess it is for a lot of other people too. I love to see these old treasured photos brought back to life, and preserved for future generations.
I don't usually comment on the restoration of other people's photos, but I was so impressed by Peter's excellent version of this photo that I had to! There were more versions after Peter, and they too were amazing.
Hope that you will be back restoring soon Carol; I miss seeing your lovely work. :-*

I was curious to see how well an AI restoration (Google Gemini) would compare to Peter’s painstaking work.

Thanks to all.
I suppose the day will come where a person gives some saliva and
AI will churn out a Family Tree together with family photos.
But that will only become possible because some of us have spent most of our lives
researching and gathering it all together.
