Very small scan VERY SORRY but can it be improved please
« on: Thursday 13 October 11 05:38 BST (UK) »
Hi there,

Firstly I apologise for the size of the file attachment.  I would not want to strain anyone's eyesight.  If the photo can be improved at all, particularly removing the light that got in when the photo was originally taken, I would be very appreciative. 

I can confirm that it was taken in an Autumn in the 1950s in rural NSW Australia, and so if I can stretch the friendship further, can it be coloured please? 

It cannot be re-scanned, as the family member who has the original is travelling around collecting various bits and pieces together for a centenary birthday for a forebear of one of those in this photo.

We were hoping to use this photo in our collection of photos for that celebration, BUT it is not a critical element, so please, please, please  DON'T strain any eyes ...

Cheers,  JM

GUIDE FOR PHOTO RESTORATIONS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SCANNER BED IS CLEAN AND SCAN AT A RESOLUTION OF 300-600 WITH THE SCALE AT 100% MINIMUM.

If you would like a coloured version, details such as hair colour , eyes and clothing etc.  if known  would be helpful to restorers

Regards Roy

My effort.
Please scan all photographs at 300-600 dpi.
Please feel free to colour any restores posted by me. An acknowledgement would be much appreciated.
