Formidable Family in need if brightening up
« on: Thursday 05 July 07 08:43 BST (UK) »

Hi,

Any chance of brightening the Woodward family up a bit and  possibly dating I am guessing it's about 1900

Hi

Can anybody add a bit of colour to this, as I ams sure it should look quite pretty.

I agree this would like lovely in colour, so you have a bigger scan of it.  This one is very small and the bigger they are the better result you will get.  If you are not sure, read Cazza's scanning tutorial at the top of the board.  The better the scan the more people will want to work on the pic, so you get much better and more varied results

Cheers

PS, Well done Niksmum, you are doing really well.  I see you are posting a lot of pics lately, not hooked are you  :-\?   I would tell you to be careful, but I think it's to late  :'(  You will have my disease soon, colouritise and then you will be in real trouble......... ;D ;D ;D  Keep it up, you are doing brilliantly.

Hi
   This is my first time posting although I have been a lurker for a long time.

I am very new to this and just love to look at the amazing make overs of the pictures
 
I have tried to colour your picture hopefully I will get better with more practice .

I must say what a lovely setting for a picture wish my garden looked like that.

Hi Rosie

I am afraid the scans are still too small for good detail. Can you rescan them at 600dpi?  If you end up with a pic too big to post let me know and I can help you make it smaller without losing definition.  That way if you wish to enlarge the picture for printing you will be able to.  It is worth the effort if you wany a good copy of your lovely pic.

Let me know if you are having trouble with Cazza's tutorial

Cheers

Hi everyone

Thanks for all you efforts, have been away for 2 weeks, but I am back now and I hopefully have learned how to scan at 600 dpi, so here goes see what you can do with this. Problems I can't seem to be able to post the 600dpi without losing the garden, the picture is too large so this is at 300dpi is this any good.
