Restore and possible colour for a cute little girl please
« on: Tuesday 25 October 11 19:20 BST (UK) »
Hi - could someone work their magic with this photo please.  If you are adding colour her hair was dark brown and her eyes were blue.  I'm not sure what colour the dress was originally.  Thanks in advance!

one from me
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

Thanks so much for all your work!  They look amazing... This is actually a photo of my mum who is now nearly 80. I want to give her a better copy for her birthday as it's the only photo she has of when she was a child. The faded out dress was a bit of an issue I know...

japesflakes - you're a fast worker.  A brilliant result in 20 mins!
rsinbad - how creative to give her arms!
niksmum - that uncoloured version is superb. My dad had a go at restoring it but yours is so much better.
terry - I love the subtle colouring you have given her.

Thank you all so much!!!

One just for fun for the scrapbook...because it's her Birthday  :D

Added:...As you have been online several times without response since I posted my work on your photo...I think it's reasonable to assume they are surplus to requirements.. so I have removed them. I would advise that in the future, you complete the post when you are happy with the restores you have received and people won't then waste their time and efforts.
