Photo enhancement request
« on: Thursday 14 June 07 08:30 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
Would someone be kind enough to enhance the attached photo of my G/Grandfather.
The facial features are not very clear and it is the only one of him.
Thanks in anticipation, jackh

Hi JackH

Here is one where I worked just on the clarity of the faded area

Hi,
Mudge, genie.fan, Alan, Jim, jc,  Thank you all so very much. I would not have thought it possible to bring Thomas's features out so clearly. 100 years after the photo was taken you can see what he looked like again.

Greatly appreciated, jackh

Hi jackh
Just 2 slight variations on jc's excellent closeup, after playing around for a while with filters, effects and enhancements ;) ;)
(Thanks for the loan jc, do you think we will ever set up in competition to the recent Caz & Poll amalgamation ??? ??? ;D ;D ;D ;D)
Hope you like it
Mudge
