Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Request for photo adjustment.

May I ask for this pic of the late Georgina Wignall to be colourised if possible? In life her hair was apparently a distinct auburn/reddish colour.

Is it possible to make the background a pale, uniform tone (i.e. remove the shading) in this photograph of the late Jean Franklin of Liverpool?

Armed Forces / Re: General Service Medal Query.
« on: Tuesday 26 August 25 23:46 BST (UK) »The GSM or clasp should have been awarded automatically once a soldier had completed the stipulated period of service in the particular operational theatre. Awards are triggered by the man's unit issuing the requisite Part Two Order once the aggregated service had been accrued. A clerical cockup could result in an individual missing out if, for instance, he was posted individually rather than as part of a subunit or unit like a company or battalion. This would most affect soldiers in the Corps like REME or RASC. In theory the parent Record Office was supposed to pick up the ball if the unit failed to initiate the process. The actual time between qualifying and physically receiving the medal could be several months. For National Service men, many would have received their medals after they had completed their service commitment.Thank you for your help Andy J2022.

There was no National Service medal awarded to British or Commonwealth servicemen.

I hope this is the appropriate forum for this topic. Was the 1918-62 G.S.M. awarded automatically for those in national service? and was it inscribed with the recipient's name etc? My late father-in-law served from 1945 to (presumably) '47, in the med and Palestine, (for which I understand there is a clasp pertaining to that?) I have a project in mind and would be grateful for any info offered.

My apologies John, I've only just seen this. I'm always grateful for any help I receive for my requests for assistance.
I have to admit that there are obvious drawbacks to AI 'guestimates', but in this case, despite the facial anomalies, I'll be able to clone stamp the faces from other of the wedding pics with my limited Photoscape app, so it'll work out, (even the lucky horseshoe/Satanic horns cake decoration).Thank you John for your help.
