Hi Bob

A clean up - no time to colour 'cos of moving, etc. Anyone is welcome to use it as a basis for colouring

Regards

PS.

I made no adjustments to brightness/contrasts/levels on the first one. Here's another that is slightly more contrasty.

It's really a lovely photograph ... I love the 2nd one Gadget with a bit extra contrast ... I like it restored that way personally . Did you want it coloured Trublue ? Does anyone know if these scenic backdrops were ever painted in colour when the resulting photograph was always going to be in monotone ? The reason I ask ( I dont ever remember learning about that doing photograpghy ! ) is because we all seem to enjoy colouring them yet they may not have been coloured

Hi Bob and Gadget,
Changed my mind!!!!!
Will take you up on your kind offer Gadget, and apply my Sepia toning to your brilliant restoration (Maybe bending the rules a bit, as it is not a true colouring! But I am sure you will approve!)

Hi Bob

Here is my effort

Poll, I usually do my backdrops plain, I feel it enhances the subjects better, shows them off more. But I have coloured the last two Bob posted, I don't really know why, they just seemed to ask for it more than the others. I assume they would be coloured, I don't know why, just because the people themselves dressed in colour, even though they knew the photo's would be sepia $:-\$ Not a very good reason really, just my thoughts.....

If you want a plain backgroung Bob, just say the word and I can alter them. I still have no idea of tartan, so played safe

Cheers
