Lovely --  faded faces and checked dresses  -- a restorers nightmare.

Sorry if this is a cop out...

Hi Janemarie,

Best regards George
Scan at 300 plus for restores please. Scan at larger dpi for small photos. Don't forget to crop the scanner bed out! (Them's the white bits)
Please feel free to alter any work by me for the benefit of the Poster.

I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone, I think they look amazing and I think my ladies will be chuffed at the results, I can see them quite clearly on the photo's now, The photo's are for a project we are doing at the moment,
I have asked them to bring in photo's of themselves when they were young
and I take photo's of them as they are now and they have to pair them up
its just a bit of fun, my oldest lady will be 98 this year and they all still live in their own homes, so I may have more photo's in the near future, once again
a BIG thank you. cheers fae janemarie
