Hi Irene
Many thanks for a job well done; its been said a pity this photo has not received the love it deserves, it has now, been brought back to life and will be cared for.  All I need do now is try and put names to the faces?

Regards, Roy

Hi Roy

Well, didn't I have a disaster with this one.  Four hours in to the restore last night and Photoshop freezes on me and I get "Sorry Photoshop has encountered an error and has to close".  All well and good, but I was so absorbed in the photo that I completely forgot to save. 

Anyway, after much swearing  , I started again, but I have to admit I was not as careful the second time around as my patience was just about exhausted. 

Regards
Caroline

Hi Caroline
Ever one is a winner and I am very grateful for all who have made the effort to bring this lovely photo back to life.  How I wish I was as skillful.

Kind Regards

Hi Roy

When I said 'Mess of Cracks' I wasn't referring to the poor condition by neglect of the owner but just its condition as seen > I have loads like that- time/age is the culprit as handed down the generations.

Sorry! my if my post gave any offence

Hi Dobby
No offence taken, I was merely saying the photo so badly damaged has been brought back to life by the good people on this site who worked so hard to restore it.  If anything I would agree the photo has been badly treated but now that it is in my hands I will treat it with respect.   

Thanks for your help
Roy
