**COMPLETE** When my Mam was seventeen...
« on: Tuesday 08 July 08 21:01 BST (UK) »
she was knocked off her bike and left in a coma with a permanent facial paralysis.
I had never seen a photo of her before her accident until today when I received this photocopy thanks to the kindness of my cousin. As you can imagine, I cried.
Can anything be done to improve the quality of the picture? If anyone could work a touch of photo magic, I will be totally over the moon.

Hi,

Tricky one. I've had a go, but not up to the standards of the RC experts, I'm afraid.

Maybe some of them will come along and do her more justice later.

Hi crozier,

I do hope that your Mum has now recovered from her accident. 

These restores are lovely!  I do like this colour combination PaulaToo, and although I am not keen on textures this picture is certainly helped by the grain in it! 

Lovely work from you all as always!  I do hope that you will be pleased with them crozier.

Hi crozier,

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.
