Tidy up needed please, colour appreciated, for grandad, little mum and uncle!
« on: Saturday 03 October 09 12:26 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,

Another one for your expertise here!  :)

This is a precious photo of my grandad, mum and uncle, taken before the Ancoats (Manchester) Whit Walk in 1955. This is the only photo that exists of grandad with his children, as he died of cancer six months after this photo was taken.

The photo is scuffed/scratched and the colour has fallen of in little dots here and there - can anyone please give it a tidy-up?

Basically any improvements would be appreciated, and if anyone want to have a go at turning the photo sepia or adding colour, that would be much appreciated too!

 ;D

Many thanks,

Katie

PS Don't you love the big scab on my uncle's knee? LOL!  ;D

One from me
A better finished article could be achieved with a higher resolution scan
This is only 72dpi if possible 300dpi is prefered

Hippy :) :) :) :)
Please scan all photographs at 300-600 dpi.
Please feel free to colour/modify any restores posted by me.
An acknowledgement would be much appreciated.

Sorry RecycledHippy, didn't realise it was on 'Auto Scan'. Here's a better resolution as suggested.

Thanks very much all for the versions so far.
