Cleanup and removal of crease for Great Aunt please
« on: Friday 02 January 09 17:50 GMT (UK) »
I have been told that this is a photo of my great aunt, Peggy, who was a nurse.  There are a few later photos of her, but this is a particularly attractive one of her.  Unfortunately, it is seriously stained and has a nasty crease across the photo. 
It would be really great if someone could do a light cleanup and removal of the crease.  There would be no problems if there were still some discolouration, it is more important to preserve the features.  I have been loaned a number of photos by my aunt, my mother's older sister, who is now in her 80s.  This is one from the collection.  I would really like to be able to give my aunt a good quality copy of this picture - since this is her mother, who died very shortly after the birth of my aunt.  It would be really nice for her to have a good picture of the mother she never knew.  After the death of his first wife my grandfather married her younger sister - my grandmother.  Fortunately, by the time this happened it was no longer illegal.

Cheers
