Damaged Photo Restoration Help Please *COMPLETED*!
« on: Sunday 02 May 10 14:49 BST (UK) »
Hi folks!

Long time since I've been on here, hope everyone is doing well.  I'll take time out to have a browse through the latest restoration projects, I continue to be delighted by your wonderful work.

I've finally managed to lay my hands on a photo of my great grandparents, and it's unfortunately damaged across the middle.  I wondered if any of you fabulous folks on here would be kind enough to restore it for me?  Scanned at 600dpi, hope it's ok for you to work with.

My belief is that it's their wedding pic, which would have been 1902 but if anyone thinks otherwise, your comments would be much appreciated  ;D

Thank you Hippy, so much better!!!  ;D

Can anyone tell me (having a blonde moment), if I post a larger pic at 300, will it be good enough to work with from your perspective, and allow me to have a larger finished picture?  I scanned it twice, once at 300 and once at 600, but the 600 scan was in the middle of the scanner so has a large amount of white around it that I can't seem to cut properly, hence the smaller pic I posted.  Does any of this make sense, or am I just having a right Sunday??  ::)

Thank you again Pels! 

Despite all the wonderful old photos inherited when my grandmother died, we didn't have one with my great Grandfather, or an early one of my great Grandmother - this old original was gifted to me last week and I'll treasure it, together with everyone's restorations.

Thank you so much mudge and tabsearch, excellent work and I'll be able to share these around the family who will be delighted xxxx
