Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Miles Hospital, Qld, Australia for restore pls

Many thanks for your efforts with my old 1913 and 1919 hosp photos, Japeflakes and RJ137. The 1919 one has come up much better and I like both versions ... while the 1913 one, well .. I am very aware of how poor the quality of the original is. But appreciate you having a go, Japeflakes. Lightening it up a bit makes it a little clearer. Thanks again.

I had meant for this post to appear before the previous 1940s Miles Hosp photo. But I became bit mixed up and I'm not very skilled with doing all this. Tks for your patience. 
***Hello all, I haven’t been on Rootschat for years now but am back into family history, least a little bit. Have some old photos of Miles Hospital in Qld, Australia where my late mum nursed in the 1940s and I'm hoping they can be enhanced. First two photos (1913 and 1919) are photos from old newspaper articles so am unsure what can be done to improve them. Also have a 1940s photo of the hosp that my late dad took which I'll post separately plus a more recent pic of the hosp (now a private residence), just for reference purposes. And many thanks for any efforts made re these old photos of the hosp.

Tks Japeflakes for your lovely work on the 1940s hospital pic. Clearly, I'm not sure what I'm doing re posting photos here. Have 2x older photos of the hosp which I had thought I’d posted before the 1040s one … but clearly I did something wrong re the posting. So will post them again now and this might make more sense then. Thanks again tho, what you did with the 1940s pic is great

Thanks for your two versions Peter (McGregor) ... and now you've posed another interesting thought ... that the original picture might be a combination of photo and someone's artistic touch ups.

I am aware that old photos sometimes had coloured tints added in the past but if anyone can shine any light about how this particular picture of Louisa (and Robert's too if possible) was originally created, it would be lovely to understand more about it.

Lovely to get these 'fixes' re Robert Evans from Loord74, Peter(McGregor) and Pat(Trishanne) ... and so promptly too. Thank you all very much.

Handypandy made a surprising (at least to me) and very intriguing point on my 'Louisa Evans Sofala Aust' thread ... he thought both of the original pictures might be pastel drawings and not photographs at all. Wow!

So if you have any thoughts about that idea, pls jump into the conversation on the Louisa thread.

Thanks a lot for your three versions Pat (Trishanne), and done so quickly too.

And also your's, Handypandy ... and your thought that both Louisa's and Robert's images might be pastel sketches (and not photographs) has blown me away. As I said when I posted Robert's photos, his picture has always seemed to be a bit of an 'odd' photo to me and this might be the explanation.

Would love to explore this idea further with Rootchat folk if its appropriate to talk about it here. So I wonder does anyone else have any opinions/comments/thoughts about them not being photos but instead pastel sketches??


Many thanks .. Leend

Hi all ... here's the two photos of an original photo of my great, great grandfather. It would probably have been taken anything up to 20 years before the one of Louisa that I just posted. And the two photos seem quite different in style,

To my un-informed eye, this photo of Robert has possibly been more 'fiddled with - read enhanced' when it was originally created.  It doesn't really seem very life-like to me. But check out that curl on his beard :)

If anyone wants to have a go with it, that would be lovely ... thanks ... Leend
PS Again, I'm not fussed about keeping the original frame
