COMPLETED WITH THANKS - date,repair & restore this very old creased sepia photo?
« on: Sunday 24 June 12 08:48 BST (UK) »
Hello, this couple are my great great great grandparents and years ago the photo was folded. I have managed to reseat what popped up. I hope it will be good enough for you to repair and restore the photo as it is very special to the family. I have not requested any colourising because I have no idea of what colours would be appropriate. But if you want to have a go, that would be really great.

Regards,

Hello Wiggy, this is really great to have. The repair worked so well and the definition has not been lost. Much appreciated.

Hi AussieRoss :)

Although this is scanned at 600dpi, it looks as though some major compression has been applied, so that the image has turned out really blocky and lacks definition.  If possible, could you scan again, at 300dpi, and use the resizing instructions here http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,372537.0.html to get the image small enough to post.

Hello Everybody.

I have rescanned the image at 300DPI and reduced the pixel size from W 780 X H 1240 down to W 390 X H 620. This action resulted in the KB size reducing from 148KB down to 43.4KB.

I apologise for any inconvenience to you all and advise that in future I shall repeat this exercise everytime before I post an image for any work to be done.  :-[ :o
