Faded Photograph and drawn on!! COMPLETED
« on: Saturday 05 March 11 10:30 GMT (UK) »
This is a faded photograph of my nan that I think my uncle was practising his drawing skills on. I wonder if it can be improved upon?

Thanks,

Paul.

Many thanks, MJB, Sylvia and Carol some great results there. It gives me plenty of options for my family history document.

I wonder what software you are all using?

Paul.

Hi Paul....There are lots of photo editting software packages available depending on how much you want to pay...I use Photoshops Elements 5..it's inexpensive and suits my needs...There is a free software package freely available online called "Gimp" if you fancy having a go without any outlay..I have never used it but have seen really good results on here from others that do...It's a good way to start.
