Photo restoration
« on: Saturday 14 April 12 05:52 BST (UK) »
Hi there,
Holiday snap taken around 1936 in Bangor Ireland.
Any general improvements would be most welcome, including any coloring you think appropriate.
Have set to 300dpi.
Would anyone know of the Microsoft techniques that can dispense with the necessity of sizing photographs for restoration?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,

Hamish 84.
