Half a photo and water damaged - can you help me restore? COMPLETED
« on: Thursday 17 June 10 20:37 BST (UK) »
My husband had a disaster in his former house.  Big flood in garage and a lot of old photos were damaged.  This is one of the bad ones, can anyone help with making it clearer?  Thank you.

Thank you so much, Terry and Irene.  These are fantastic!  My husband is absolutely delighted.  We have several more which are in a sorry state so I shall put them up in the course of the next few days if anyone wants to have a go at them as well.

I'm very grateful to you for restoring this.  It was very upsetting when all the photos were damaged in the first place and this goes all the way to making us feel better about things.  Thank you.
