COMPLETED THANKS Great Uncle Albert
« on: Monday 19 September 11 18:52 BST (UK) »
Hi, Can anyone help me with great uncle Albert. Can the photo be restored maybe with a bit of colour? It was taken just before he went off to France for the first world war, he never came back. Thanks Snowy ;D

Oh, what a lovely thought!  Obviously a newspaper picture, and how I wish I had the expertise of some of the experts who respond to requests on this site.  Please, please, do have a go, I for one would like to see any results!!!

Hi Snowy  :D
Welcome to Roots and the photo restoration board.

This photo is very small and has been scanned at a very low 72 dpi.  If you can rescan this at 300dpi the results will be better
There are tutorials at the top of the board if you need help

Restorers please do NOT use any restores done by me without my permission
