Is there any hope for this one please?
« on: Thursday 06 March 08 02:42 GMT (UK) »
Hello again!  I'm not sure if much can be done for this little pic, but I would appreciate it if it can be restored in any way and if the 1920's bride could have her face lightened at all.  I think she is wearing glasses under the hat!!

This is the only photo in existence of the grooms brother cut off at the side, so saving it means a lot to us all!

Thanks in anticipation!

 :o :o :o  An amazing restore job, who would have thought it possible!!!!
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Mudge, this has been a massive effort, thank you for a major restores job on this!  It's more than I hoped for and you've saved it for the next generations.  Thanks so much.  Uncle Stanley came back from WW1, but died of war related injuries not long after this wedding.  My Grandmother recognised him in this little pic and said it was the only photo she'd ever seen of him, so to have all of him in the wedding party now is really wonderful.   ;D ;D ;D

Iria, thanks for your lovely interpretation as well, there are so many lovely pics posted on RootsChat worthier of attention, I'm really grateful that you took the time to do this lovely version of the photo.  ;D  ;D ;D

Irene, you always come through with the most difficult of restores and produce beautiful work and this is no exception, thank you!  I can now see the brides face in the only wedding photo in existence of Gt Grandmother & Gt Grandfather and we can now identify the youngest bridesmaid as well.  ;D ;D ;D

Ptdrifter, another lovely interpretation of the pic from the worst photo on the history of RootsChat, I bet!  I really appreciate your effort and time on this thanks so much!  ;D ;D ;D

Best wishes to all!
