Looking a little washed out . . . !
« on: Friday 02 September 11 13:51 BST (UK) »
Hi again,

My gr gr gr grandfather Alexander McGregor b 1834 is looking a little washed out.

I am wondering if anything can be done to make him a little bit brighter.

Past experience tells me that some of you can perform miracles with old photos, so.....

Thank you in anticipation,
Carna

Thanks Heaps Bob and Hippy!

We have only recently acquired this photo and called him the bushranger.

Thanks to you, he now looks more like a distinguished Gentleman.

Thanks again,
Carna

Thanks Irene and Carolyn!

I really appreciate your efforts.

I can't wait to print them off to share with relatives.

Thanks again,
